How much does one quart of oil weigh?

Answer 1

Oil is not a uniform substance but a mixture of different hydrocarbons. Their relative proportion differs from source to source and, as a result, the density of oil varies by almost a quarter. It is therefore not possible to give a sensible answer.

Answer 2

That depends on what's in the quart.

If it's air, it weighs very little.

If it's water, it weighs about 2 pounds.

If it's gold or stones, it weighs a lot more.

If the quart is empty, it weighs nothing at all.

Answer 3

If you are concerned about motor oil the density is about 888.1 g/l at 20C (room temperature). It is heavier at 0 C and lighter at 40 C but not by much. A quart is essentially the same as a litre. 888 g weighs a bit less than 2 lb.

Answer 4

As well as hydrocarbon oils, there are also plant oils, so the variation in densities is enormous.

Answer 5

If it's a quart of water, it weighs about 2 pounds.

Answer 6

It depends on the liquid - one quart of Mercury is going to weigh much more the one quart of water.

Refine your question.

Answer 7

One quart of water weighs approximately 2 pounds. This means a gallon of water would weigh approximately 8 pounds.

Answer 8

there are many types of oil. I can find densities from 790 to 960 in kg/m3 taking a median of 850 kg/m3, 1 qt is 0.000946 m3 this weighs 0.000946 * 850 = 0.8044 kg or 1.77 pound

Answer 9

a quart is a measurement of volume not mass. Nothing weighs a quart.
