Full-fat milk is made up of fat-free milk mixed with fat. A volume of 1.000

Q#25 (Past Exam Paper – June 2018 Paper 13 Q13)

Full-fat milk is made up of fat-free milk mixed with fat.

A volume of 1.000 × 10-3 m3 of full-fat milk has a mass of 1.035 kg. It contains 4.00% fat by volume.

The density of fat-free milk is 1.040 × 103 kg m-3.

What is the density of fat?
1.25 × 102 kg m-3
9.15 × 102 kg m-3
9.28 × 102 kg m-3
1.16 × 103 kg m-3



Solution:
Answer: B.

Density of full-fat milk = total mass / total volume

Total mass = mass of fat + mass of fat-free milk

Total volume = volume of fat + volume of fat-free milk

Density of full-fat milk = mass / volume = 1.035 / (1.000×10-3) = 1035 kg m-3


The full fat milk contains 4.00% fat by volume.

Volume of fat = 0.04 × 1.000×10-3 = 4.0×10-5 m3

Volume of fat-free milk = (96% =) 0.96 × 1.000×10-3 = 9.6×10-4 m3

Given that density of fat-free milk = 1.040×103 kg m-3,

Mass of fat-free milk = ρV = 1.040×103 × 9.6×10-4 = 0.9984 kg

{Note that we need to consider all the significant figures available as data given in the question indicate this (1.000×10-3 is given instead of 1.0×10-3).}

Total mass = mass of fat + mass of fat-free milk

Mass of fat = 1.035 – 0.9984 = 0.0366 kg

Density of fat = mass / volume

Density of fat = 0.0366 / 4.0×10-5 = 915 = 9.15×102 kg m-3
