Please Help! What's the weight in tonnes (T) of 65,000 litres (L) of refrigerated liquid CO2 (UN Number 2187)?

Question

I'm not sure if this can be solved but it would be really great if people could help me with this one.

I've been tasked at calculating the weight of 65,000 L of refrigerated liquid CO2 (UN Number 2187).

Normally I would be able to perform this calculation myself or use an online conversion site.

However, upon researching the properties of refrigerated liquid CO2 (UN Number 2187) I noticed that it is actually considered a compressed gas. I have been given the unit in litres (65,000 L) and then find out that refrigerated liquid CO2 is a gas which should be (m3), hence my confusion. I need the answer in Tonnes, hope you can help.

ρ = 770kg/m^3 = 0.77 kg/liter
Weight = 65,000*0.77 = 50,050 kg = 50.050 metric tonn

1. Date one in all them for an hour, i would as an alternative spend an hour with them, then simply 1 kiss. 2. Email deal with, so i will maintain in touch with them. 3. That is a difficult one, however I consider i would alternatively have Nick say i'm lovely. Four. Meet them and get hugged, that would be potent! 5.

Peace Love Jonas! =]

Important information on environment, health and safety
Safety Data Sheet
Carbon dioxide, refrigerated liquid.Molecular weight: 44 g/mol
UN number and proper shipping name
UN 2187 Carbon dioxide, refrigerated, liquid

Relative density, liquid: 0,82
Melting point: -56,6 °C
Sublimation point: -78,5 °C
Critical temperature: 31 °C
Autoignition temperature: Not applicable.
Flammability range: Not applicable.
Relative density, gas: 1,52
Solubility mg/l water: 2000 mg/l

Density of liquid CO2 = 0.82 x 62.4lf/ft^3 = 51.168lb/ft^3 x 1 ft^3/28.317 liters = 1.807 pounds per liter

65,000 liters x 1.807 #/liter = 117,455 pounds = 53.277 tonnes

Please Help! What's the weight in tonnes (T) of 65,000 litres (L) of refrigerated liquid CO2 (UN Number 2187)?
