is there a mathmatical formula to determine how much physical space a given volume of liquid would take up?

Posted by call me Ishmael (aka pacrat) May 28 '15, 14:42

for example, if I wanted to know roughly how much physical space would be taken up by 1,000 gallons of a liquid . . . or, well, on a more simple scale, how much space does 1 gallon of liquid take up? from there, I could always just plug in the numbers and extrapolate . . .

Responses:

Well, gallon is a unit of volume.. So pick another unit and convert? 1000 gallons = 133.68 cubic feet - JD May 28, 14:48

sure. if you don't want to figure it out yourself, here's a converter. just look for the cubic inch section on the left side. nm but: -- (link) - b. May 28, 14:48

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches. -- nm - Loyola May 28, 14:45
Mass of different liquids is different, meaning that no two liquids will weigh the same - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old May 28, 14:45
