Which mineral property do you find mass per unit?
weight = mass * gravitational constant.
Which mineral property depends on bond type and the spacing of atoms within the crystal?
The hardness, density, and crystal structure.
What is the density of mineral oil?
0.84
Does the size or shape of a mineral affect its density?
Yes, the size or shape of the particle can affect the density.
Does the shape of a mineral sample affect its density?
No. Usually it's the other way around, the density controls in what way the mineral breaks and erodes.
Which is a property of a mineral?
Density
Why is density a good property to use to identify a mineral?
Because Each mineral has its own characteristic density
Is the density of a mineral is its mass divided by it's volume?
Yes, mass divided by volume is the formula for density.
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.
The property of a mineral that relates how heavy it is for its size is referred to as?
Density's.
What property is the mass of a mineral sample per unit volume?
Its density.
How do you find the density of a mineral-?
Density is the ratio of mass to volume. You must first find the mass and volume to determine density. This only works for porous and solid materials. So this would not work on pomous. Mass of object= m Volume of Object= v Density= d d=m/v 1ml=1cm^3 Displace your object in a graduated cylinder. Convert ml to cm^3 Mass the object. Plug into formula. Isn't much harder than that.
What mineral property finds mass per unit volume?
it's density
What is the density of mineral apatite?
Its density is: 3.19
What property refers to the measure of the density of a mineral?
The amount of mass per unit volume.
