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 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 information about a mineral is needed to determine its density?
To determine the density of a mineral, you need to know its mass and volume. The mass of the mineral can be measured using a balance, while the volume can be determined using displacement method or by measuring its dimensions and calculating the volume. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the mineral by its volume.
What equation would you use to express the density of a mineral sample?
density = mass / volume
What is the ratio of alumina to silica in pyrophyllite?
The chemical formula of pyrophyllite is Al2Si4O10(OH)2.
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 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.

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.
What is the density of a mineral sample?
The density of a mineral sample is a measure of its mass per unit volume. It can be calculated by dividing the mass of the sample by its volume. The density of a mineral sample is a characteristic property that can help in identifying the mineral.
What determines the density and specific gravity of a mineral?
The density of a mineral is determined by its chemical composition and packing of atoms in its crystal structure. Specific gravity, which is the ratio of a mineral's density to the density of water, is a measure of how heavy a mineral is compared to an equal volume of water. Both properties can provide information about a mineral's identity and help distinguish it from other minerals.
