Answer: 1169.298 L

Explanation: In order to go from grams to liters, you must find the moles first using the molar mass, 62.068 g/mol (found via google search). I will assume the ethylene glycol is in gas form so we can use the 22.4 L per mol conversion.

Using dimensional analysis, starting with the kg, we must convert to grams, then moles, then liters.


\frac{3.24 kg}{} * (1000g)/(1 kg) * (1 mol)/(62.068 g) * (22.4 L)/(1 mol)

Multiply the top individually, then the bottom individually.


(72576)/(62.068)

Divide out.


= 1169.298 L

In the end, we get 1169.298 L of ethylene glycol.
