Question

A heavy fuel oil has a specific gravity of 0.918. How much will 100 gallons(300 liters) of this oil weigh? INCLUDE UNITS!

Answer 1

275.4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

specific gravity = 0.918

Density = 0.918 g/cm^3 = 918 kg/m^3

Volume = 100 gallons = 300 litres = 300 x 10^-3 m^3 = 0.3 m^3

Mass = volume x density = 0.3 x 918 = 275.4 kg
