How Many Kilograms is 10 Liters of Gasoline?
2 Answers
10 liters of gasoline is approximately equivalent to 7 kilograms. The relevant explanation is as follows: Introduction: The main components of gasoline are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons, and it does not have a fixed chemical formula. At room temperature, gasoline is a colorless to light yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water and is highly flammable. Additional Notes: Gasoline is one of the most widely used light petroleum products and an important fuel for engines. Gasoline components can be divided into straight-run gasoline, thermal cracking gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, catalytic reforming gasoline, polymerization gasoline, hydrocracking gasoline, alkylation gasoline, and synthetic gasoline. Gasoline products can be classified into three main categories based on their use: aviation gasoline, automotive gasoline, and solvent gasoline.
I often drive to refuel, and about ten liters of gasoline weigh approximately fifteen jin. This is because the average density of gasoline is around 0.75 grams per milliliter, and one liter equals one thousand milliliters, so one liter of gasoline weighs about 750 grams. One jin is 500 grams, so one liter is roughly 1.5 jin, and ten liters naturally make fifteen jin. The actual weight can be affected by the type of gasoline and temperature, with density variations between 0.71 and 0.77, meaning ten liters of gasoline may weigh between 14.2 and 15.4 jin, but the baseline is fifteen jin. Gas stations measure by volume in liters, not accounting for weight changes, so when you drive in, just fill up. Knowing the weight helps with fuel tank load, such as the increased vehicle weight when the tank is full, but it doesn’t affect fuel consumption estimates—ten liters can typically cover a bit over one hundred kilometers.
