Milk weighs more because it is more dense.
Answer:
Milk is a complex mixture containing sugars, salts, lipids and proteins. As a consequence its mass/volume or density and its specific gravity vary with the type of cow and the specific cow.
To minimize variables the milk or water must be at the same temperature as the density of water increases as the temperature lowers (until 4oC). The density of milk = 1.003073 - 0.000179t - 0.000368F + 0.00374N, where t = temperature in degrees C; F = percent fat; and N = percent nonfat solid. Comparing the resulting data for several types of cattle, the mean specific gravity of Holstein milk at 20 C/20 C is 1.0330 (range 1.0268 to 1.0385) and for Ayrshire milk is 1.0317 (range 1.0231 to 1.0357), while Jersey milk also has a mean of 1.0330 (range 1.0240 to 1.0369). [see Sherbon JW, Physical Properties of Milk, Chapter 8 in Wong et al, 1988]
Milk is more dense than water by 2% to 4%. This is about the weight of penny per litre.
Yes, because Milk has protein and fat and water is just well... water.
A gallon of whole milk weighs 8.63lb per gallon. Water weighs about 8.33 lbs per gallon so milk weighs about 5 ounces more per gallon than water.
Because it's either denser or more dense. How do you pronounce it?
Type your answer here... they both weigh the same because if you pour the same amount of milk as water they would both weigh
No, milk weight varies depending on the milk fat content.
The density of [cow's] milk varies, depending on the fat content,
but is always just slightly greater than the density of water.
Yes, because it has a higher density
A gallon of milk
Milk is heavier
Although you might think milk fats would likely float on water, milk also contains other solids like proteins and sugars, which make it barely heavier than water. So usually no - at the same temperature and pressure, ordinary homogenized cow milk would sink in water. A gallon of milk is heavier than a gallon of water.
I'd say around eight pounds. Milk has a density between 1.02 and 1.05 grams/milliliter, so US gallon of milk would weigh between 8.5 to 8.8 pounds. In the imperial system of measure the weight of a Gallon of WATER is 10 Pound. MILK weighs very close to the same as water. In the Metric system, 1gallon equals 4.54 LITRE and weighs 4.54 Kliogram. The correct answer is therefore either 10 pound weight or 4.54 Kg weight. Remember that for WATER, the number of Litres you have, is always the SAME as the number of Kg that it weighs.
10 qts 1 gallon = 4 quarts 1 quart = 0.25 gallon
1 quart is equal to 2 pints 1 imperial gallon is equal to 8 pints therefore 4 quarts in a 1 gallon jug
In order to convert from volume to weight, we must know the density. 15w40 has a density of about .879 kilograms per liter. One gallon is about 3.785 liters. Multiplying these two numbers gets us our weight, at approximately 3.327 kilograms.

No, because a gallon is a gallon. Well, I guess you can say that brick substances in a milk gallon carton will indeed be heavier than feathers in a gallon carton, but water and soft drinks are both liquid. You can also experiment this yourself! Its pretty easy, you probably already know what to do. :)
the thing that weighs a gallon is a gallon of WATER or a gallon of milk.
A gallon of water weighs 8 pounds.
The weight of a gallon of milk is only slightly greater than a gallon of water, about 3% more. A US gallon with 2% milkfat weighs about 8.4 pounds, compared to 8.6 pounds for "whole milk" and 8.35 pounds for a gallon of water. Milk is 87 % water, thus a gallon of milk will not differ from milk much. The 8.6 lbs/gal factor (whole milk) is correct. The weight increases as fat is removed. By weight: Milk : 8.6 lb/gallon Condensed milk : 9.4 lb/gallon Cream 8.28 lb/gallon * The British or Imperial Gallon is defined as exactly 10 pounds of water. You can convert the above figures by using 1 Imperial Gallon = 1.201 US gallons.
Milk and water mix, because milk is heavier, and sinks to the bottom of the cup. While at the bottom, the water becomes light, so heavy and light mix.
Milk Gas Ice Cream Water
Nonfat milk is very close in density to water which weighs 8 pounds per gallon.
Milk is an emulsion of butterfat globules within a water based fluid and has a larger particle size than water. Even though Milk has a tendancy to increase in viscosity during storage a pint of milk has a smaller particle size than a gallon of water
find an empty gallon of milk bottle. There you are.
Milk sells by the gallon.
