How many gallons of concentrated sulfuric acid (density of 1.84 g/cm3) are required to have a mass of 184.33 pounds?

Note: 1 kg = 2.204 lb, 1 gallon = 3.79 L.

Respuesta :

After series of conversion from one unit to another, the number of gallons was found to be 12 litres

Density, Mass and Volume

Given Data

  • Density of Sulfuric acid = 1.84 g/cm3
  • Mass of Sulfuric acid = 184.33 Pounds

Conversion from pounds to Gram

1 kg ---------2.204 lb

x kg ---------184.33 lb

x = 184.33/2.204

x = 83.634 kg

hence the mass in gram = 83.634*1000

mass in gram = 83634 g

Now let us find the volume

We know that density = mass/volume

volume = mass/density

volume = 83634/1.84

volume = 45453.26 cm^3

Convert cm^3 to litres

Volume in litres = 45453.26 /1000

Volume in litres = 45.45 Litres

Convert from Litres to Gallons

1 gallon = 3.79 L

x gallons =  45.45 L

x =  45.45/3.79

x gallons = 11.99 L


Approx = 12 Litres
