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 15.4gal tank?
I converted 15.4 gal to 58273.6 ml what do i do next?
NVM I GOT IT. THE ANSWER IS 42947.6432g
You have too many significant figures in the answer.
3.73×104 g
To find the mass of the gasoline that would fill a 15.4-gallon tank, you have already converted the gallons to milliliters (58273.6 mL). Now, you need to use the given density of the gasoline (0.737 g/mL) to determine the mass.
To do this, you can use the formula:
Mass = Density x Volume
In this case, the volume is given as 58273.6 mL and the density is 0.737 g/mL. Substituting these values into the formula will give you the mass.
Mass = 0.737 g/mL x 58273.6 mL
Using a calculator, multiply 0.737 by 58273.6 to obtain the mass in grams.
