What is the difference between a mineral's density and its specific gravity?
A mineral's density refers to its mass per unit volume, typically measured in g/cm3. Specific gravity, on the other hand, is the ratio of the mineral's density to the density of water. It is a dimensionless value that indicates how much denser or lighter a mineral is compared to an equal volume of water.
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
What is the density of a mineral if 427 g of mineral occupy a volume of 35 ml?
density=mass/volume=427g/35ml=427g/35cm3=0.427kg/0.000035m3=12200kg/m3 kg/m3 is SI unit the resault can be given as 12.2 g/ml
If the volume of a mineral is 15ml and the mass is 30g what is the density?
The density of the mineral would be 2 g/ml (density = mass/volume).
What are two reasons why density is a useful property identifying substances?
Density can tell you how "pure" a substance is. Since each substance has a specific density in its "pure" state, having no other substances in its composition, by measuring it density you can tell how pure the mineral or substance is, 99.9% pure gold.
What are two reasons why density is a useful property for identifying substances?
Density is specific for each substance. Also the measurement is generally simple.

What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?
The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.
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.
Who can you determine that a coin is not pure silver if you know the mass and volume of the coin?
You can determine if a coin is not pure silver by calculating its density using the formula density = mass/volume. Compare this calculated density to the known density of pure silver (10.5 g/cm3). If the calculated density does not match the density of pure silver, then the coin is not pure silver.
What is the density of mineral apatite?
Its density is: 3.19
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.
If Using density how dowe determine if a substance is pure or not?
If a substance is not pure, the density may, or may not, change, compared to the pure substance.
