A particular brand of gasoline has a density of 0.737 g/mL at 25 ∘C. How many grams of this gasoline would fill a 15.1gal tank?
11.1
To determine how many grams of gasoline would fill a 15.1 gallon tank, we need to convert the volume of the tank from gallons to milliliters, and then use the given density to calculate the mass.
First, let's convert gallons to milliliters.
1 gallon is approximately equal to 3,785.41 milliliters.
Therefore, 15.1 gallons is equal to:
15.1 gallons × 3,785.41 milliliters/gallon ≈ 57,236.99 milliliters.
Next, we can use the given density of 0.737 g/mL to find the mass of the gasoline.
Mass = Density × Volume
Mass = 0.737 g/mL × 57,236.99 mL
Calculating this:
Mass ≈ 42,160.66 grams
So, approximately 42,160.66 grams of this gasoline would fill a 15.1 gallon tank.
