How Much Does One Liter of Gasoline Weigh?
1 Answers
A liter of gasoline weighs approximately 1.45 jin. Below is relevant information about gasoline: 1. Introduction: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through fractionation, cracking, or pyrolysis, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It mainly consists of organic compounds derived from crude oil fractionation and various additives. Although gasoline yield varies with crude oil composition, typically, a barrel of 42 US gallons (160 liters) of crude oil can produce 19 US gallons (72 liters) of gasoline after refinery processing. 2. Anti-knock Properties: The anti-knock properties of a specific gasoline mixture (which can cause knocking and reduce the efficiency of reciprocating engines) can be measured by its octane rating. Based on different octane ratings, gasoline is produced in several grades. Other chemicals are often added to gasoline to improve chemical stability and other performance characteristics, control corrosiveness, and maintain the cleanliness of the fuel system.
