Actually, a pint of water weighs 1.04375 pounds. So, although this phrase does not provide the EXACT weight of each liquid, it does provide a very simple rule for determining approximately how much liquids weigh. In the case of water, there are eight (8) pints of water in a gallon.Using this rule, a gallon (eight pints) would weigh approximately eight (8) pounds, which is very, very close to a gallon of water's exact weight of 8.35 pounds which is found in the more detailed and scientifically correct answers to this question.ikewise a gallon of ice and a gallon of room temp water have different weights even though they are the same size. One gallon of water, at 20 degrees Celsius, weighs 8.33 pounds. Gallon: Pounds 8.345404 Grams 3785.4118 Kilograms 3.7854118 Some simple calculations: 2 Pints to the quart. 4 quarts to the gallon.
Ovarian cancer - Causes. Causes of ovarian cancer. Several possible causes of ovarian cancer have been identified, along with risks that may make developing the condition more likely. Cancer begins with a change (mutation) in the structure of the DNA in cells, which can affect how they grow. This means that cells grow and reproduce uncontrollably, producing a lump of tissue called a tumour. In ovarian cancer, cells in the ovary start to change and grow abnormally.
This is because these cancers can be caused by an inherited mutation (change) in certain genes that cause a family cancer syndrome that increases the risk of ovarian cancer. Family cancer syndromes About 5 to 10% of ovarian cancers are a part of family cancer syndromes resulting from inherited changes (mutations) in certain genes.
