The specific gravity of skimmed milk is greater than that of whole milk because because cream is lighter than milk, thus removing it makes the remaining liquid heavier per unit of volume. As a liquid's weight per unit of volume increases its specific gravity increases.

What is specific gravity of feldspar?
The specific gravity of a substance is the ration of its density to some standard, almost always water for liquids or solids. In this case, Feldspar has a specific gravity of about 2.6.
What is the the specific gravity of CNG Don't want a range I want a specific number?
Even a range can be inaccurate; the specific gravity of a gas depends A LOT on pressure, as well as on temperature. Also, in the case of CNG, this is a mix, not a pure chemical substance. Therefore, the exact specific gravity will depend on the exact mix.In summary, you can pick a single number from any range you find, but such a number would be highly misleading, since it would imply that CNG would ALWAYS have this specific gravity, which is certainly not the case.
What is acceleration due to gravity called?
Acceleration due to gravity means the force due to weight of an object which increases due to the gravitational pull of the earth.
What special gravity does onyx have?
I wonder if you mean specific gravity? If so, onyx (part of the chalcedony group) has an SG of 2.6 and, in case you are interested a hardness of 7.
How you can convert Density of Crude oil into specific Gravity?
The same way you convert any density to specific gravity. Just divide the density of the substance (crude oil in this case) by the density of the reference substance (usually water, for liquids).
What is the Specific Gravity of air?
Specific gravity is often defined relative to water, in which case the specific gravity of air is 0.001225. Specific gravity can also be defined relative to the density of air, in which case the specific gravity of air is exactly 1. Specific gravity is often defined relative to water, in which case the specific gravity of air is 0.001225. Specific gravity can also be defined relative to the density of air, in which case the specific gravity of air is exactly 1.
How gravity affect weight?
Gravity impacts weight because weight is calculated using F = M * A. F - Weight in this case M - Mass of your object A - Acceleration of gravity on the planet the object is on. Assuming mass remains constant and your acceleration (your gravity) increases, weight will increase. If acceleration (your gravity) decreases, weight will decrease.
What is the concentration of 5 Baume HCl?
The Baumé scale does not directly measure the concentration of a solution. For example, to determine the concentration of nitric acid from a hydrometer reading, you would need to determine the specific gravity and then utilize a table of known specific gravity values for nitric acid at known concentrations. Using the formula to convert ºBaumé to specific gravity: specific gravity = 145/(145-ºBaumé) you get a specific gravity of 1.0357 for a 5ºBaumé reading on your hydrometer. Then you can go to a table of values, such as the one in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry & Physics (mine is 60th Ed., page D-240) for a table that has various concentration values for specific gravity values. In this case, the closest value of specific gravity to 1.0357 is 1.0352, which corresponds to a 7.50 wt% or a 2.129M HCl solution. Hope this helps!
How does freezing urine affect specific gravity?
Decrease, you are making the specific gravity closer to that of water.
What are some examples of physical quantities that do not have units?
This often happens if you take the ratio of two quantities. In that case, the units disappear. For example:* A coefficient of friction, defined as the ratio between two forces * The specific gravity, defined as a ratio between two densities
Would the specific gravity of mercury be the same on the moon where gravity is one sixth of that on the earth?
Specific gravity (Sg) is a value that relates substance x (in this case mercury) to that of water. Notice that Sg is unit-less, thus its a ratio value, and constant. So yes, specific gravity of any substance is the same everywhere, be it earth, the moon, or Pluto. note: Obviously gravity is different on the moon, as you mentioned about 1/6th that of earth. Finding a force of a certain substance on the moon is found by multiplying the density of water by the specific weight of the substance, multiplied by the gravitational pull. Thus, it is not nessicary to change the specific gravity of the substance.
What minerals have a specific gravity of less than 1?
Yes. That's what specific gravity is all about - the comparison of the density of a material to that of an equal volume of water. If a material or substance has a specific gravity equal to that of water, its specific gravity (sometimes called "spee gee" by the chemists) is 1. If it is more dense, say twice as dense as water, its spee gee will be 2. If the spee gee of a substance, in this case a mineral, is less than 1, it is less dense than water and will float. There may be a few exceptions for porous materials, but this is the rule.
