One source says 0.9. It should be similar to lard, which has a specific gravity of 0.96.
A gallon of tallow typically weighs around 7 to 8 pounds, depending on its specific composition and temperature. Tallow is a rendered form of beef or mutton fat, and its density can vary slightly based on how it was processed. When measuring, it’s important to account for these variations for precise conversions.

Tallow is beef fat, a trigylceride. Hydrogenation breaks the double bonds of a hydrocarbon, and replaces them with single carbon atoms. This process is known as "saturation" - you're saturating all the bonds with carbon. Generally, hydrogenated fats are solids, and less hydrogenated fats are liquids. Hydrogenation is sometimes called "hardening" the fats involved. Tallow, on the other hand, is pretty hard already. There aren't many bonds that aren't already saturated. Hydrogenated tallow would be a slightly stiffer fat than ordinary tallow.
There is no such thing as a specific gravity for any element.
The specific gravity of a substance depends on the acceleration due to gravity. Since the gravity is lower on the moon than on Earth, the specific gravity of mercury will be different between the two. On the moon, the weight of mercury would be less than on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull, causing its specific gravity to be different.
No.
The melting point of beef tallow is approximately 113-122 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes, beef tallow does not need to be refrigerated for storage as it has a long shelf life at room temperature.
Tallow is a rendered form of beef or mutton fat, processed from suet. It is solid at room temperature.
Beef tallow can last for up to a year if stored properly in a cool, dark place. After that, it may start to go rancid and should be discarded.

Specific gravity of a rib section of beef runs from about 1.056 to 1.067, with prime and commercial beef being the lightest and standard beef being the most dense. Information taken from the site in related links.
Fat or wax would work, but "tallow" is far more specific.
To ensure the freshness and quality of beef tallow, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight. Refrigeration can also help extend its shelf life.
Suet
Beef suet is the raw fat found around the kidneys of a cow, while tallow is the rendered and solidified form of suet. Suet has a higher melting point and a more distinct flavor compared to tallow. When used in cooking or baking, suet can add a rich and savory taste, while tallow is more versatile and can be used for frying, baking, or making pastry. The choice between suet and tallow depends on the desired flavor and texture in the final dish.
