That depends on which form of the mineral. Some minerals have several forms, and the densities vary as the form does.

What mineral has the mass of 54 grams?

The mineral with a mass of 54 grams could be quartz, feldspar, or calcite. Minerals have varying densities, so a 54-gram sample of one mineral may occupy a different volume than a 54-gram sample of another mineral.

What changes the density of the earth's crust in particular places?

rocks and mineral deposits play a role in the various densities across the earth's surface :)


Why does density help identify a mineral?

Density is a physical property that can help identify minerals because different minerals have unique densities. By comparing an unknown mineral's density to the known densities of common minerals, geologists can narrow down the possibilities for identification. This is especially useful when other identifying characteristics are not easily observable.


Will objects with densities higher than water sink or float?

Objects with densities higher than water will sink. Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so objects with higher densities will displace less water than their own mass which causes them to sink.


Given that a large number of non-metalsare gases what does it tell you about the densities of non-metals in general?

In strict logical inference, nothing, because there could be very dense nonmetals to compensate for the gases. However, in fact the densities of nonmetals on average are less than the densities of metals.


Each mineral has a characteristic density?

Density is a physical property of minerals that can be used for identification. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the mineral by its volume. Different minerals have unique densities due to variations in their chemical composition and crystalline structure.


What mineral property finds mass per unit volume?

Density is the mineral property that describes the mass of a mineral per unit volume. It is a useful measure in identifying and distinguishing minerals, as different minerals have different densities due to variations in their composition and structure.
