The name stems from Lorenz's suggestion that a massive storm might have its roots in the faraway flapping of a tiny butterfly's wings.

Well, there are 33.814 fluid ounces in a liter. 33.814 fluid ounces weigh 35.274 ounces or 2.2046 pounds. There are 2000 pounds in a ton. so I get 907.186 liters per US ton.
1 gallon = 3.785 liters. Set up the conversion so the desired unit will be cancelled out. In this case, we want liters to tbe the remaining unit. volume in L = (volume in gal) x (3.785 L/1 gal). volume in L = (5 x 3.785) L. volume in L = 18.925 L. Answer: A 5 gallon bucket contains 18.925 liters. By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D.
