A cup of gasoline is about 250 mL. When ignited this amount of gasoline explodes into a fireball. (Glass containers around this size are used as grenades in street riots.) If a Snickers bar has 250 kcal when burned. How many Snickers bars equivalents is 250 mL of gasoline? The density of gasoline is 0.75 g/mL (The next time you're in a riot, please throw Snickers bars instead of Molotov cocktails.)
