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.
Are minerals classified by color?
Someone said, "No. Most minerals have a variety of different colors." but that isn't true. Minerals and rocks can be classified by color, streak, luster, cleavage, hardness, and specific gravity. Hope this helps! By: Fizzycandy10
What is diamonds specific gravity?
The specific gravity of diamond is 3.5, which is 'above average'.
What is the Specific gravity of solvent?
What is the specific gravity of petroleum natha
What is the specific gravity of lithium?
The specific gravity of lithium is 0.534
What is the specific gravity for aluminum?
Aluminum has no specific gravity, at least by the current definition of gravity.
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.
Definition of specific gravity?
The English phrase 'specific gravity' means the ratio ofthe density of a substance to the density of water.
Which term reflects the amount of waste minerals and solids in the urine?
specific gravity
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 :)
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 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)
