Best Answer

A gallon is a measure of volume used for liquids. Gold is not normally not measured by volume but by weight.

A troy ounce of gold would have a volume of 1.61 cm3.

cm3 = 0.00026417205 gallons

3785.41 cm3 = 1 gallon

Therefore, a gallon of gold would weigh 2351.19 troy ounces.

Or: gold weighs 19.32 grams/cm3

a gallon is 3,785.612 cm3

3,785.612 cm3 * 19.32 g/cm3 = 73,062.3 grams or 73.06 kg

73.06 kg * 2.2 lb/kg = 161 lb
