If the specific gravity of E85 gasohol is 0.801' what is the mass of 1.00 gallon of th E85 fuel. Given 1 gallon = 3.75 liters
sp.g. = 0.801
density = 0.801 g/mL
mass = volume x density.
mass = 3.75L x 0.801 g/mL = ? grams.
If you want to convert to pounds/inches system, the ?grams/454 = x pounds.
what is the specfic gravity of gasohol if the density is 0.801g/ml
0.006616
I just do not understand how to calculate these types of questions.
To find the mass of 1.00 gallon of E85 fuel, we can use the following formula:
Mass = Volume × Density
First, we need to find the volume of 1.00 gallon of E85 fuel.
1 gallon is equal to 3.75 liters (given).
So, the volume of 1.00 gallon of E85 fuel = 3.75 liters.
Now, let's find the density of E85 fuel using its specific gravity.
Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, usually water. In this case, the reference substance is water.
The specific gravity of E85 gasohol is given as 0.801.
Density of E85 fuel = Specific gravity × Density of water
The density of water is about 1 g/mL or 1000 kg/m^3.
So, Density of E85 fuel = 0.801 × 1000 kg/m^3
Now, we have the volume and density of E85 fuel, we can find the mass.
Mass = Volume × Density
Mass = 3.75 liters × (0.801 × 1000 kg/m^3)
To convert liters to cubic meters, we divide the volume by 1000:
Mass = (3.75 liters / 1000) × (0.801 × 1000 kg/m^3)
Mass = 3.75 × 0.801 kg
Therefore, the mass of 1.00 gallon of E85 fuel is approximately 3.00 kilograms.
