A full 150-pound chlorine gas cylinder with a tare weight of 90 pounds weighs about how many pounds?

To determine the weight of the full chlorine gas cylinder, you need to add the weight of the gas inside the cylinder to the tare weight of the cylinder itself.

The tare weight, which is the weight of the empty cylinder, is given as 90 pounds. A full chlorine gas cylinder with a nominal weight of 150 pounds refers to the total weight of the cylinder when it is full, which includes the gas. To find the total weight, simply take the tare weight and add the weight of the chlorine gas that makes it up to the full weight.

The calculation would be as follows:

• The total weight when full is stated to be 150 pounds.

• Since the tare weight is 90 pounds, the weight of the chlorine gas is calculated as:

150 pounds (total weight) - 90 pounds (tare weight) = 60 pounds (weight of the chlorine gas).

However, if the question is specifically asking for the general condition of how much does the whole cylinder weigh, it assumes that the total weight of the full cylinder is already indicated by the 150 pounds.

Given the calculation error in understanding of total weight/load, you would generally refer to the common weights; that said, knowing the standard weights
