How many kilograms is one liter of 95 gasoline equal to?
3 Answers
Equals 1.5 kilograms. Here is the relevant information: 1. Conversion method: Convert based on the density of gasoline. The density of 95 gasoline is 0.737g/ml, so one liter of 95 gasoline is approximately equal to 0.75 kilograms, which is 1.5 kilograms. The density of different grades of gasoline varies. For example, the density of 93 gasoline is 0.725g per milliliter, and the density of 97 gasoline is 0.737g per milliliter. 2. Notes: It is best to refuel in the morning or evening because the temperature is high at noon, and thermal expansion and contraction will cause the volume of gasoline to expand, resulting in less fuel being added. Do not use mobile phones while refueling, as using a mobile phone may generate sparks, which can easily cause a fire when in contact with the dense gas at the gas station.
I often deal with gasoline when modifying cars. One liter of 95-octane gasoline weighs approximately 1.4 to 1.5 jin. Gasoline is much lighter than water, as water weighs 2 jin per liter, while gasoline is significantly lighter due to its lower density. The weight also varies with seasons. In summer, high temperatures cause gasoline to expand and its density to decrease, making it about 1-2% lighter. In winter, the colder temperature increases the density, making it slightly heavier. Gas stations charge by the liter, not by weight, but knowing the weight is mainly useful for calculating transportation costs. For example, when installing an auxiliary fuel tank on a modified car, filling it with 20 liters means carrying around 28 to 30 jin, so the chassis's load-bearing capacity must be considered. Another time, when helping a friend move, I estimated the weight of spare gasoline cans based on this to stack them properly.
The weight of gasoline primarily depends on its density parameter. The density of 95-octane gasoline fluctuates around 0.725 grams per milliliter. Using laboratory data for calculation: 1 liter = 1000 milliliters, so the mass is 725 grams. Converting to the Chinese jin system (500 grams = 1 jin), 725 grams equals 1.45 jin. Actual fuel density varies with temperature changes. At 20°C on the thermometer, the density is about 0.72, but it drops to approximately 0.70 at 40°C. Therefore, when refueling in midsummer, each liter may weigh as little as 1.4 jin, while in cold winter, it might increase to 1.48 jin. Different refinery formulations also have an impact, with ethanol-blended gasoline having a slightly higher density, roughly 0.03 grams per milliliter more.
