Its like asking how many pigs in one ton. The
number will depend on the density of , surface
tension, size, shape, and flow rate of
the liquid. 1 mL is +/- twenty drops of H2O. 1gallon = 3785.4 ml = 75708 dps Jeffery A Mathes Jr., Ph.D.

The number of drops would depend on which oil. Do the experiment yourself.
Get a dropper, a quantity of oil, a cup measure.
Fill the cup using the dropper. Count the drops as you go.
Multiply your answer by 16.
That's your answer.
You could only fill half the cup measure and multiply the number of drops by 32.
Do your experiment three times and get the average of your answers.
1 gallon (US) is about 75,708 (75708.23568) drops.
There are approximately 7,680 drops in a gallon.
90,840.
16 oz is a pint, 2 pints per gallon, so 2 drops.
A US gallon of soya oil is 3.785 litres.

A standard measure of oil pollution in water is 10 ppm (10 parts oil per 1,000,000 parts water). As a gallon of water weights 10 lbs (Imperial gal) or 8 lb (US) gal) the weight od a gallon is about 4.54 kg, or 4540 gm and there are usually thought to be 40 drops in a ml a drop of oil weighs about 0.02 gm.So 1 drop in gallon would be 0.02 gm in 4540 gm or 1 gm in 225000 gm (4 ppm). Indicating that 2.5 drops would pollute 1 gallon of water to the 10 ppm level
A few drops of oil are wasted is correct. The subject is drops, and it is plural.
Facts:120 drops = 5mL1 gallon = 3785 mL* 90840 Drops in 1 GallonIf a faucet dripped once a second how many gallons of water would it waste?It would waste 347 Gallons of water a year!Facts:1 year ~ 31,536,000 seconds24 drops in 1 mL1 gallon/3785 mL X (1 mL/24 drops) X (1 drop/ 1 s) X (31,536,000 s/ 1 year) = 347.1598415 gallons / year
1 gallon = 16 cups 1 cup = 0.06 Gallon
10 drops = 0.648 cc 1 gal = 3.785 liters do the math
16 ouncesOne gallon of oil is 6-8 pounds depending on density or 96 to 128 oz.
