Question

Olive oil has a density of 0.917 g/mL. What is the volume, in gallons, of 50.0

pounds of olive oil

Answer 1

`V=6.54L`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are given the density in g/mL, the first step is to compute the mass in grams as shown below:

`m=50.0lb*(454g)/(1lb) =22700g`

Now, we use the density to compute the volume as follows:

`V=22700g*(1mL)/(0.917g) =24.755mL`

Finally, we convert to gallons:

`V=24755mL*(1L)/(1000mL) *(1gal)/(3.7854L)=6.54L`

Best regards!
