What should you do if two rocks contain yellow minerals but you know they are different minerals?
You can look at the streak, specific gravity, and if it have cleavage or not.
Do Most minerals have a higher specific gravity than water?
Water has a Specific Gravity of 1. Silicate mineral rocks have specific gravities from 2 to 4, generally. The answer is True.
What do ferromagnesian minerals have in common?
Ferromagnesian minerals are minerals that have iron or magnesium in their structure. The greater specific gravity is between 3.2 and 3.6. Some examples are pyroxene, biotite, garnet, and olvine.
What should you do if two rocks contain yellow minerals but you know they are different?
You can look at the streak, specific gravity, and if it have cleavage or not.
What is the weight of cubic foot of rock?
The weight of a cubic foot of rock will depend on the specific gravity and proportion of the minerals that compose the rock.
What does SG stand for in rocks and minerals?
Specific Gravity
What is the range of specific gravity of most common rock-forming minerals?
Silicates are the most common rock-forming minerals. They tend to have a specific gravity range of 2-4.
What properties are not used to identify minerals?
I think its Specific Gravity :)
What reflects the amount of wastes minerals and solids in urine?
Your urine's specific gravity reflects the amount of minerals, solids, and wastes in the urine. Specific gravity is a comparison of urine's density to water's density.
What compares weight of minerals with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
What properties are not commonly used to identify minerals?
I think its Specific Gravity :)
Which term reflects the amount of waste minerals and solids in the urine?
specific gravity

Do Most minerals have a higher specific gravity than water?
Water has a Specific Gravity of 1. Silicate mineral rocks have specific gravities from 2 to 4, generally. The answer is True.
What two properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Density and Specific Gravity The specific gravity (SG) is calculated from weight in air divided by loss of weight in water, expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. The specific gravity of most minerals ranges from 1.5 up to 19.5. (CHANNEL FAIZAN BHAI GHAZI)
What metal has the highest density?
THE MINERAL WITH THE HIGHEST SPECIFIC GRAVITY IS CALLED OSMIUM (Os) followed closely by Iridium. Most people think that Gold is the leading one. Thank you, Audax Kiwango, Mineral Engineer.
Why might it be helpful to know the specific gravity of a mineral?
If we know the physical or chemical properties of substances (including minerals) we can identify these minerals easier.
