Best Answer

1 gallon of regular water weighs about 8 1/3 pounds (8.345 pounds)

This is about 3.785 kilograms.

1 US gallon= 3.785 l

Density of water= 1 kg/l

density= mass/volume

1 kg/l = m/ 3.785 l

m = 3.785 kg

Weight= mg= 3.785 kg*9.81 m/s2=37.1 kg*m/s2=37.1 N = 8.34 pounds

*For the UK or Imperial gallon, m= 4.546 kg (almost exactly 10 pounds, which is how it was originally defined, i.e. 10 pounds of distilled water)

It depends entirely on the substance that you have a gallon of. It all depends on the density because a gallon is measure of volume and not weight. Weight is measured in grams, kilograms, pounds etc. To convert between volume and weight, you must know the density of the material.

Some substances have a greater density and others have a smaller density. Do you have a gallon of lead or a gallon of feathers? A gallon of lead is very very heavy, and a gallon of feathers is very light.

See the Related Questions the weights of some common substances like water and gasoline.

The volume 1 litre is 1000 cubic centimetres. For a metal it is much better to use cubic centimetres. For liquids like milk or oil you use litres. The density of lead is 11.34 grams per cubic centimetre. So, 1000 cubic centimetres of lead weigh 1000 times 11.34 = 11340 grams or 11.34 kilograms.

That depends on what's in it. If it's a gallon of water, it weighs about 8.4 pounds.

If it's a gallon of gold, it weighs about 159 pounds. If it's an empty gallon, it weighs

nothing.

The answer is simple; a gallon of water weighs about 8.3 pounds. The imperial gallon of water is defined as 10.02 pounds at its maximum density while the weight of US dry gallon of water is defined as 9.71 pounds. However, the answer comes with a caveat.

Lead is 11.4 times denser than water. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, so the weight of one gallon of lead is 95.08 pounds.
