Answer:

The number of grams of sulfuric acid in 1 gallon of battery acid is 1909.4 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

V = 1 gallon = 3785.4 mL

% m/m = 38.8 %

The number of grams of sulfuric acid can be calculated as follows:

m = 1.30 (g)/(mL)*3785.4 mL*(38.8)/(100) = 1909.4 g

Hence, the number of grams of sulfuric acid in 1 gallon of battery acid is 1909.4 g.

I hope it helps you!
