Question

particular brand of gasoline has a density of 0.737 g/mL at 25 ∘C. How many grams of this gasoline would fill a 15.7 gal tank (1US gal

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is known that density is the amount of mass present in per unit volume.

Mathematically, Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Also, it is known that 1 gal equals 3785.41 ml. So, in 15.7 gal there will be (15.7 × 3785.41 ml) = 59430.97 ml.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

0.737 g/mL =
`(mass)/(59430.97 ml)`

mass = 43800.62 g

Thus, we can conclude that mass of this gasoline required to fill a 15.7 gal tank is 43800.62 g.
