A 1066 gram mineral displaces 300 ml of water. What is the specific gravity of the mineral?
We find that 3.53 is the spee gee (specific gravity) of our mineral. Specific gravity is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of water. The density of water is 1 g/ml and we just need to do some simple math. Since water is 1g/ml, we just need to find out the density of our sample in g/ml and drop the units. Note that specific gravity has no units associated with it. It is a number. Our mineral sample weighs 1066 grams, and its volume is 300 ml. 1066 / 300 = 3.53333....
Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?
The shape or size of a mineral sample does not affect its density. Since mass is proportional to volume, an increase in mass also increases the volume. The ratio between the two remains constant, hence the density is not affected.
If a mineral is 10 times heavier than water what is its specific gravity?
specific gravity = relative density ( relative to water) , so if the mineral is 10 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is 10
What mineral property finds mass per unit volume?
it's density
Ratio of the mass of a mineral to mass of an equal volume of water?
Density. Since density = mass/volume, if you have a substance A, it has density(A), which is given in a standard form of ## grams per cm^3 (cubic centimeter) or mL (milliliter). The density of water is 1.0g/mL. Thus, suppose the mass of substance A is 10 grams and it's volume is 5 cm^3. Then, it's density is 2g/mL. If you looked at 5cm^3 (or 5mL) of water, it's mass would be 5 grams. Therefore, the ratio of the two masses of equal volumes substance A and water is exactly the ratio of the two densities, which equals the density of substance A.
Density of gypsum?
Density of gypsum is from 2.312 - 2.322 g/cm3 or gram per cubic centimeter. The calculated density of this sulphate mineral is 2.308 g/cm3.
What has a density of 2.65 gcm3?
The mineral quartz has a density of 2.65 grams per cubic centimeter. It is a colorless mineral that is mainly composed of silicon dioxide.
What is density of tape water?
Very close to 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Depends slightly on mineral content and temperature of the water.

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.
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.
A student determines the density of a mineral to be 1.5 grams per cubic centimeterIf the accepted value is 2.0 grams per cubic centimeter what is the student's percent deviation?
13.0
What is the density of mineral apatite?
Its density is: 3.19
What is the mineral property defied by Density of the mineral sample divided by the density of water?
Specific gravity.

Nagyagite is the only mineral with a density of 7.5
Does the density of a mineral depend on the size on the mineral.?
No, it doesn't.
