A small storage tank for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) appears to be spherical and have a diameter of about 1 ft.Suppose that some common volumes for LPG tanks are 1 gal, 2 gal,5 gal, and 10 gal. Which is the most probable voume of this particular tank?
Volume = (4/3)*pi*r^3.
If you use 1/2 foot for radius, then the volume will be in cubic feet. Go to google, type in "xxxcubic feet to U.S. gallons" without the quotation marks (where xxx is the number of cubic feet you calculate), then hit enter. The answer in gallons should appear.
What is the volume of 3.25 moles of a gas at a temperature of 115 K and a pressure of 275 kPa?
To determine the most probable volume of the small storage tank for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) with a diameter of about 1 ft, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere:
V = (4/3)πr³
Given that the diameter is 1 ft, we can calculate the radius (r) by dividing the diameter by 2:
r = 1 ft / 2 = 0.5 ft
Now, substituting the value of the radius into the volume formula:
V = (4/3)π(0.5 ft)³
V = (4/3)(3.14)(0.5 ft)³
V ≈ 0.5236 ft³
Next, we can convert this volume from cubic feet to gallons, since the common tank volumes are given in gallons.
1 cubic foot is approximately equal to 7.48052 gallons.
So, converting the volume:
V ≈ 0.5236 ft³ * 7.48052 gal/ft³
V ≈ 3.9116 gal
The most probable volume of this particular tank is around 3.9116 gallons.
