How many therms does it take to heat one american (not imperial) gallon of water?

One therm = 100,000 British thermal units





One BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.





One American gallon of water is 231 cubic inches of 231/12*12*12 cubic feet or 0.1337 cubic feet of water.





Thus, to raise the temperature of 1 american gallon of water by 1 degree F needs 0.1337 BTU or 0.000001337 therms.

How many therms does it take to heat one american (not imperial) gallon of water?
What do you mean by "THERMS?" The amount of heat in calories or what time it takes to bring it to the boiling point?


Be more specific in your question in the future.


Us intellectuals have trouble understanding morons.
