Your Ignorance can’t be cured with facts, can it? The formula for what? Water weighs 8 1/3 pounds per gallon on earth! If you are using 8 pounds as a reference on earth, you are reporting facts not in evidence. Only Ice or steam weighs less by volume.

At aprox. 4oC (39.2oF) pure water has it’s highest density (weight or mass):
1 g/cm3 = 1 g/ml = 1 kg/litre = 1000 kg/m3 = 1 tonne/m3 = 62.4 lb/ft3 = 8.34 lb/gallon.
