It's difficult to say for sure. Salt comes in different sizes of grains therefor you'd really have to have a solid chunk of salt that is exactly one gallon in size and weigh it to know for sure.
I've seen figures stating that 1 cubic yard of rock salt = 2160lbs
According to Google, 1 cu yard = 201.974 US gallons
So if 2160 lbs of Salt = 201.974 US Gallons then 2160/201.974 = 10.694 lbs/US Gal.
As stated above, this is not exact but will get you close. Hope this helps.
