How much ammonia is in a full 1 ton cylinder, measured in pounds?

  1. 800

  2. 1,000

  3. 1,500

  4. 2,000

The correct answer is: 800

A full 1-ton cylinder of ammonia contains 2,000 pounds of ammonia. This is based on the fact that the term "1 ton" typically refers to 2,000 pounds in the United States customary system. Therefore, when thinking about the contents of a 1-ton cylinder, it is important to recognize that it is equivalent to 2,000 pounds of ammonia, as the cylinder is designed to hold that specific amount. The other options reflect incorrect interpretations of either the ton's weight or miscalculations related to the storage capabilities of such a cylinder.
