Q644

The specific gravity of cow milk is

A.
1.023
B.
1.032
Answer
C.
1.018
D.
1.081

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The specific gravity of cow milk is 1.032.
The term “Specific Gravity” (SG) is used to define the weight or density of a liquid as compared to the density of an equal volume of water at a specified temperature. The temperature used for measurement is usually 39.2°F (4°C) because this temperature allows water to assume its maximum density.
Normal milk has a density of 1.026 -1.032 g/ml.
