Answer #1

Given specific gravity of glycerine = 1.258

Density of water = 62.4 pound per cubic feet.

Specific gravity of glycerine =

Density of glycerine/ density of water.

Density of glycerine = 62.4 x 1.258 = 78.5 lb/ft3.

Given volume of glycerine = 50 gallons = 6.684 cubic feet.

Total weight of glycerine = density x volume.

6.684 x 78.5 = 524.7 pounds.
