What is the shininess of a mineral called?
The shininess of a mineral is known as it's luster. It is one of the many physical properties that are used to help classify minerals.
If the density and volume of an object is known what can also be found?
If you know the density and the volume, you can calculate the mass. This is becausedensity = mass/volume.
How would you find this mass of only 50 mL of water?
You can weigh it; or you can calculate it based on the known density of water.
What is the density for mendelevium?
The density of Md is not known.
Which are ununseptium chemical properties and physical properties?
Some predicted properties of ununseptium:- melting point: 300-500 0C- boiling point: 55 0C- density: 7,2 g/cm3- empirical atomic radius; 138 PM- first ionization energy: 742,9 kJ/mol- solid- atomic number: 117- radioactive- unstableThe chemistry of Uus is not known.
What two properties must be known to calculate the of a mineral?

What is ulexite used for?
No known commercial uses. Mineral specimen. Collected for metaphysical properties.
What is the shininess of a mineral called?
The shininess of a mineral is known as it's luster. It is one of the many physical properties that are used to help classify minerals.
How much mass there is in a volume of a substance?
If the density of the substance is known, then you can calculate it. Density = Mass/Volume, so Mass = Density x Volume
If the density and volume of an object is known what can also be found?
If you know the density and the volume, you can calculate the mass. This is becausedensity = mass/volume.
How do you calculate solid and liquid volume?
Assuming the mass and density is known, divide the mass by the density.
How do you calculate the mass of something?
The mass of a substance can be derived from its density. Density is equal to mass per volume, so if volume is known, divide volume by density to get mass.
Why is it important to identify unknown minerals?
Once a mineral's properties are known, the specific applications for that mineral in industry or manufacturing can be detailed. The identification of mineral properties have led to the production of the massive number of consumer products that are available today.
How do you calculate volume with specific gravity and mass?
An abstract, esoteric mathematical operation known as "division." Divide mass by density, and you get volume. A note for purists: Technically speaking, specific gravity is not density, it is a ratio of densities. However, since one of the materials in the ratio is water, and its density is well known, it's easy to calculate the density of a material from its specific gravity.
How do you calculate mass when density is not known?
you can't unless you have a set of weighing scales mass = density * volume density is needed to work out mass if you have volume if you worked out the mass then you could divide it by volume to get density
What are the scientific properties to form Amazonite?
"Amazonite" is a beautiful green variety of the mineral known as microcline, which is a common potassium aluminum silicate. For more properties of microcline, see mindat.org.
What are some physical properties of the mineral diamond?
Diamonds are the hardest known naturally occurring substance. Most diamonds are electrical insulators.
