water has a density of 1.00 gram per cubic centimeter. what is that in pounds per gallon?

Answer 1

1g/cc = 1,000g/L.
1,000g/L = 1kg/L
1 US gallon = 3.8L
3.8L x 1kg/L = 3.8kg
1kg = 2.2 lbs.
3.8kg x 2.2lbs/kg = 8.36 lbs/gal.

Answer 2

Hmm, I could only break this into 4 categories. Oh well. 1. Universal Solvent of Life: Most chemical reactions happen in water. Our bodies require many chemical reactions which are facilitated by the water in our bodies (we are 75% water or so). 2. Cohesion/Adhesion This allows water to move up the xylem stems of plant cells in vascular pathways. Water droplets can stick to each other as well as to surfaces, so extremely light animals, such as various insects can walk on water. 3. High Specific Heat It takes a lot of heat to raise the temperature of water. Thus, water acts as a temperature-regulator on the planet by absorbing a lot of heat and not raising the temperature much. This causes cliamate on the coast to be much more mild than the climate inland. This also leads to sweating leading to a cooling effect. When the water from your sweat evaporates off your skin, the heat goes to the water instead of to your body, so it cools you down. 4. Freezing When water freezes, the hydrogen bonds actually cause the individual molecules to move farther apart from each other, keeping them at "arm's distance." This results in the decreasing of the density of water. Thus, ice floats and bodies of water don't completely freeze over, as whenever some part of the water freezes into ice, it just floats to the top. This allows for marine life to continue during the winter months and insulates the water below.
