Question

Olive oil has a density of 0.917 g/mL. What is the volume, in gallons, of 50.0
pounds of olive oil

Answer 1

Answer:

$V=6.54L$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are given the density in g/mL, the first step is to compute the mass in grams as shown below:

$m=50.0lb*\frac{454g}{1lb} =22700g$

Now, we use the density to compute the volume as follows:

$V=22700g*\frac{1mL}{0.917g} =24.755mL$

Finally, we convert to gallons:

$V=24755mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} *\frac{1gal}{3.7854L}=6.54L$

Best regards!
