Explain why scientists consider ice to be a mineral?
Scientists consider ice to be a mineral because it is found naturally in nature. Ice has certain properties such as density and chemical composition leading it to be identified as a mineral.
What is the mineral property defied by Density of the mineral sample divided by the density of water?
The mineral property defined by the ratio of a mineral's density to the density of water is called specific gravity. It is a useful parameter for identifying minerals and can help distinguish between different types of minerals based on their mass-to-volume ratio. Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity that quantifies how much denser or lighter a mineral is compared to water.
How can density help identify a mineral?
Each mineral has a characteristic density (or range of densities), so if the measured density is a close match to a mineral you know, it MAY be that mineral; if it doesn't match, it is something different.
What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?
The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.
How do you calculate mineral volume?
Mineral density should know. Weight / density = volume
What is the density of the mineral cartridge?
A cartridge is NOT a mineral.
Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?
No, the density of a mineral remains constant regardless of the size of the sample. Density is an intrinsic property of the mineral and is determined by its composition and structure. It is typically expressed in units of mass/volume, so a larger sample will have a proportionally greater mass and volume, resulting in the same density.
What is the density of mineral apatite?
Its density is: 3.19
What mineral has a density of 7.5 and a is used to start a car?
Nagyagite is the only mineral with a density of 7.5
What is the difference between a mineral's density and its specific gravity?
A mineral's density refers to its mass per unit volume, typically measured in g/cm3. Specific gravity, on the other hand, is the ratio of the mineral's density to the density of water. It is a dimensionless value that indicates how much denser or lighter a mineral is compared to an equal volume of water.
Does the density of a mineral depend on the size on the mineral.?
No, it doesn't.
What is the density of a mineral sample?
The density of a mineral sample is a measure of its mass per unit volume. It can be calculated by dividing the mass of the sample by its volume. The density of a mineral sample is a characteristic property that can help in identifying the mineral.
