Yes


What is the density granite?

The average density of granite is 2.75 g/cm3.


Light-colored igneous rocks with a lower density than basaltic rocks?

Felsic rocks like granite are light-colored igneous rocks with a lower density than basaltic rocks due to their silica-rich composition. Their lower density is a result of having a higher proportion of quartz and feldspar minerals, which are lighter than the minerals found in basalt.


What is the density of granite chippings?

Granite chippings are granite aggregates that are primarily composed of feldspar and used as paving material. The density of granite chippings is 166.5 lbs / ft3 .


Which has more density 20 grams of granite or cotton balls?

20 grams of granite has more density compared to cotton balls because granite is denser and heavier than cotton balls, which are lightweight and fluffy. Density is defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume, so even though both may weigh the same, the volume of granite is smaller, resulting in higher density.


Is granite density?

What is the weight of granite?

The range of granite density is from 144 to 170 pounds per cubic foot (lbs./ft^3). In order to know the weight of your granite its exact density and volume must be determined. Dividing the known density by volume will tell you its weight.


What is the density of granite per pound?

Density per pound is a meaningless concept.


How do you convert cubic meter of granite to tons?

Oh, dude, converting cubic meters of granite to tons is like converting apples to oranges. But hey, if you really wanna know, you can use the density of granite (around 2.7 tons per cubic meter) to do the math. Just multiply the volume in cubic meters by the density to get the weight in tons. Easy peasy, right?


How does the density of a light colored rock differ from the density of dark colored rock?

Normally, light colored igneous rocks are less dense compared to dark colored igneous rocks. This is because the light colored rocks have a less iron in them.


What is the density for granite stone dust?

The density of granite stone dust is typically around 150 pounds per cubic foot or 2,400 kilograms per cubic meter.


What the density difference between granite and salt?

The density of sodium chloride (common table salt) is 2.165 gram/cubic centimeter. Granite is a mixture of components and so varies in density, generally averaging between 2.65 and 2.75 gram/cubic centimeter. So the density difference between salt and granite would be around 0.585 - 0.485 grams /cubic centimeter.
