Why does density help identify a mineral?
it tells them mass per volume
What The crystal system a mineral belongs to relates most to the mineral's?
its defitantley not mass
If you had an unknown substance and were asked to identify it would you use the intensive or extensive properties of the substance?
Intensive properties are independent from the mass of an object: density, hardness, melting point.
Is the density of a mineral considered its mass divided by its volume?
Yes, the standard definition of density is mass divided by volume. This presumes the mineral is uniform throughout the sample.
What does the mass number identify?
The mass number identifies how much an objects weight is.
Why does density help identify a mineral?
it tells them mass per volume
Mineral properties cannot be used to identify a mineral?
Mass
Do you use the mass of an unknown material to identify it?
yes
What mineral properties cannot be used to identify a mineral?
The color, luster, and crystal shape of a mineral may be observed just by looking at the mineral. Some minerals have very distinctive colors that help identify them. Although the color of a mineral can give away its identity, color is the least useful property for mineral identification.
Why Do You Think Scientists Can Use The Basic Properties Of Matter To Help Identify An Unknown Substance?
Because if a substance can't be known then it has to prove its mass and volume
What mineral property cannot be used to identify a mineral?
Mass
Is the volume of the unknown mass needed to calculate the mass of calcium oxide?
No. you will know the volume of the unknown mass after you calculate the mass of ca0
Is there a graveyard for Clara Barton?
Clara Barton did help with Andersonville Prison and its graveyard. She worked to help identify most of the bodies that were buried in mass graves there.
What is a mineral with mass of 125 grams?
You can weight 125 g from any mineral.
What The crystal system a mineral belongs to relates most to the mineral's?
its defitantley not mass
Explain the relatoinship between th density of a mineral and its size?
A mineral's density increases as its mass per unit volume increases. If a mineral has a small mass and large unit volume, its density is smaller. Whereas, if a mineral has a large mass and a small unit volume, its density is greater.
If you had an unknown substance and were asked to identify it would you use the intensive or extensive properties of the substance?
Intensive properties are independent from the mass of an object: density, hardness, melting point.
