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.
What is the density of the mineral pyrophyllite?
2.84
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
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
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.
How do you accurately measure the density of a mineral?
Mineral density can be measured with a Jolly balance. See related link below.
What is a mineral's density?
The density of minerals is a measure of weight vs volume of the mineral. See related links for more details.
Which mineral had the greatest density?
streak
