What is the mass and volume of milk?
256.6 g (the mass of milk with carton) − 11.9 g (the mass of the carton) = 244.7 g (mass of milk). This is equal to 0.2447 kg. The volume of milk is ½ pint equal to 236 ml or 0.000236 m3.
How do you find the density of milk?
The basic formula for calculating the density of milk is:
- Density = Mass/Volume.
- Full half-pint milk carton: 256.6 g.
- Empty half-pint milk carton: 11.9 g.
- Half-pint Milk Mass: 244.7 g (or 0.2447 kg)
- Volume of half-pint: 236 mL (0.00236 m³)
- 0.2447 kg/0.000236 m³ = 1036.86 kg/ m³
- 1.03686 kg/L.
How do you find volume density and mass?
Divide the mass by the density of the substance to determine the volume (mass/density = volume). Remember to keep the units of measure consistent. For example, if the density is given in grams per cubic centimeter, then measure the mass in grams and give the volume in cubic centimeters.
How do you find the density of a container?
Weigh the container and liquid. Subtract the container’s weight from the total weight just measured. That gives you the liquid’s weight. Divide the liquid’s volume into its weight to find the liquid’s density.
What is milk density?
Milk is a very complex liquid that is composed of an expansive diversity of different molecular species. The density of raw milk depends on its composition and temperature and can usually – literature data vary slightly – be found in the range of 1.026 g/cm3 – 1.034 g/cm3 at 20°C.
What is the volume of a milk?
1000 litres = 1 cubic metre
| Item | Volume |
|---|---|
| Wine | Small glass: 150 millilitres Larger glass: 250 ml Bottle: 75 cl (750 ml) |
| Glasses | Small glass: 220 ml Pint glass: 568 ml |
| Tea | Tea mug: 250 ml Tea pot: 1.1 L = 1100 ml |
| Milk carton | Carton of milk, e.g. soya milk: 1 litre |
How do you calculate the density of milk?
Density is mass divided by volume. To do this you will need a container of which the weight is known, an accurate scale and 1 liter of milk (measured accurately). Weigh the milk and the container, subtract the weight of the container. The density should be roughly 1030 – 1036g/L.
What is the mass of a pint of skim milk?
This explains why skim milk is denser. 256.6 g (the mass of milk with carton) − 11.9 g (the mass of the carton) = 244.7 g (mass of milk). This is equal to 0.2447 kg. The volume of milk is ½ pint equal to 236 ml or 0.000236 m3.
Why is skim milk denser than regular milk?
Cream or milk fat is lighter in density than water and floats on the surface of un-homogenized milk. When you skim off the surface, some of the fat, the denser portions remains and the milk is denser. This explains why skim milk is denser. I also determined the density of milk myself. Full weight: 256.6 g.
Why is fat collected from the surface of milk?
Density of Milk. Since fat has a lower specific gravity and therefore is “lighter” than the milk serum, fat globules rise to the milk surface. Then, fat can be collected or skimmed from the milk. The fat thus collected is called “cream” and the milk deprived of fat is called “skimmed milk”or “skim milk”.
