How much does a gallon of h2o weigh in pounds, stones and kilos

How much does a gallon of water weigh depends on where it is and the temperature.

Temperature

Let me explicate, the temperature is elementary, if the water is heated it causes the molecules to expand – to motion apart. And so a container that has a volume of 1 gallon will weigh less than one that has cold water in it, equally the molecules are closer together so tin fit more than h2o into the container.
As an experiment weigh a pint, or a liter, of water at home that is cold and then boil the water – now reweigh the same heated pint, or liter of h2o, and see the weight has gone down.

Location

The 'where' is more complex. Basically the distance (pressure) also effects the weight every bit does gravity etc. But far too complex for our needs in this summary.
More than importantly the where in terms of U.s.a. or UK location makes a big departure. You run across a liter is the same in both but a gallon is not.

Metric System (Liters or Litres)

The metric organisation using liters (litres in UK and Europe) is fairly straightforward. At a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius (39.2ºF), exposed to standard atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa, 1cm³ of water is 1ml, and weighs one gram. 1 Liter of water (1000ml) weighs 1kg (1000g).

Elementary to remember that 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram. (at 4ºC).

Gallons – the confusion begins!

A gallon in the US and UK are not the same measure!

In the US 1 gallon of water is 128 fluid ounces, or 3.785 liters. In the UK information technology is 160 fluid ounces, or four.546 litres.

It is best that nosotros stick to comparing liters considering just every bit the size of a gallon differs so does the size of a fluid ounce.

(1 Royal fluid ounce = 0.9607603 US fluid ounces.)

The point to note is that a UK gallon is a little over twenty% bigger than a United states of america gallon.

For example, a 50 Gallon Tank in UK would hold lx US Gallons of water.
