Question

Question 4: In this question, you will calculate the price per kg of acetic acid. Your calculation begins with the 1-gallon quantity.

%uF0A7 Convert 1-gallon to Liters, then to mL. %uF0A7 %u2018Density of the solution is unity%u2019 means that you are going to assume that the density of

the solution is approximately 1.00 g/mL %u2013 the same density as water. Multiply the

volume of a gallon (mL) by the density of water to obtain a gram amount of solution. %uF0A7 Next convert this gram amount of solution to kilogram. %uF0A7 Lastly, multiply the kilogram amount by $0.03/kg to find the price of one gallon of acetic

acid. Comment on how expensive (or inexpensive) this final price is.

Explanation / Answer

1 gallon=3.78541L=3785.41mL

So

1 gallon weighs 3785.41 grams=3.78541kg

So price=3.78541*0.03=$0.1135623
