if a gallon of antifreeze weighs 8.75 pounds. what is the density of the antifreeze in g/ml?
To find the density of the antifreeze in g/ml, we need to convert the given weight from pounds to grams and the volume from gallons to milliliters. The formula for density is:
Density = Mass / Volume
First, we need to convert the weight from pounds to grams. We know that 1 pound is approximately equal to 453.592 grams. So, we can find the weight of antifreeze in grams by multiplying the weight in pounds by 453.592:
8.75 pounds * 453.592 grams/pound = 3968.42 grams
Next, we need to convert the volume from gallons to milliliters. We know that 1 gallon is equal to approximately 3785.41 milliliters. So, we can find the volume of antifreeze in milliliters by multiplying the volume in gallons by 3785.41:
1 gallon * 3785.41 milliliters/gallon = 3785.41 milliliters
Finally, we can substitute the values into the formula to find the density:
Density = Mass / Volume = 3968.42 grams / 3785.41 milliliters
Calculating this division, we get the density of the antifreeze:
Density ≈ 1.048 g/ml
Therefore, the density of the antifreeze is approximately 1.048 g/ml.
