Answer to Question #148024 in General Chemistry for Javier

Question

A dialysis unit requires 70000 mL of distilled water. How many gallons of water are needed?
(1 gal = 4 qt)

Answer 1

SOLUTION: To solve this, We know that:

1 gal = 3785.41 mL

? gal = 700000 mL.

Cross multiply,

we have: 1 gal * 70000 mL = ? gal * 3785.41 mL

? gal = 70000 / 3785.41

? gal = 18.49 gal

Therefore, 18.49 gallons of water are needed.
