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.
Density of varsol 18 solvent mineral spirits?
I need to have units as well for this density
What is the density and the hardness?
Hardness refers to a mineral's resistance. Density is the measure of how much matter there is.
What equation would you use to express the density of a mineral sample?
density = mass / volume
Is the density of a mineral considered its mass divided by its volume?
Yes, the standard definition of density is mass divided by volume. This presumes the mineral is uniform throughout the sample.
What is the ratio of alumina to silica in pyrophyllite?
The chemical formula of pyrophyllite is Al2Si4O10(OH)2.
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.

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.
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 has the author G S Gibbons written?
G. S. Gibbons has written: 'Talc, steatite, and pyrophyllite' -- subject(s): Pyrophyllite, Soapstone, Talc
Does the density of a mineral depend on the size on the mineral.?
No, it doesn't.
Explain the relatoinship between th density of a mineral and its size?
A mineral's density increases as its mass per unit volume increases. If a mineral has a small mass and large unit volume, its density is smaller. Whereas, if a mineral has a large mass and a small unit volume, its density is greater.
What determines the density and specific gravity of a mineral?
The density and specific gravity of a mineral is caused by the arrangement of atoms in the crystalline structure and the elements of which the mineral is composed.
