We find that 3.53 is the spee gee (specific gravity) of our mineral. Specific gravity is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of water. The density of water is 1 g/ml and we just need to do some simple math. Since water is 1g/ml, we just need to find out the density of our sample in g/ml and drop the units. Note that specific gravity has no units associated with it. It is a number. Our mineral sample weighs 1066 grams, and its volume is 300 ml. 1066 / 300 = 3.53333....

If a mineral is 10 times heavier than water what is its specific gravity?
specific gravity = relative density ( relative to water) , so if the mineral is 10 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is 10
The density of gold is 19.3 A piece of gold displaces 2 ml of water The specific gravity of gold is?
19.3. Specific gravity is another way of saying density.
A toy boat weighs 12 newtons What is the weight of the water it displaces when it floats?
It displaces 12/9.8 kg of water = 1.22 Kg. This would be assuming that gravity is 9.8 M/S2
What is the difference between apparent specific gravity and absolute specific gravity and bulk specific gravity?
Dry Bulk Specific Gravity does not take into account for anything getting into the permeable or impermeable voids of say a stone by water for instance. Saturated Surface Dry Bulk Specific Gravity takes into account for anything getting into the permeable voids only of say a stone by water. Apparent Specific gravity takes into account for the volume of the impermeable voids and not anything getting into the permeable voids of say a stone by water.
How do you know if a product will sink in water by its specific gravity?
Anything with overall specific gravity greater than 1.0 sinks in water.
If a mineral is 10 times heavier than water what is its specific gravity?
specific gravity = relative density ( relative to water) , so if the mineral is 10 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is 10
A mineral has a specific gravity of 7.0 What does this mean?
Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of one material to the density of water (at 4 degrees C). When a mineral has a specific gravity (SG) of 7.0 it means that the mineral is 7.0 times as heavy as the same volume of water.
What does it mean when a mineral has a specific gravity of 4.0?
A specific gravity of 4.0 for a mineral means that a given volume of the mineral has 4.0 times the mass of the same volume of water.
The density of gold is 19.3 A piece of gold displaces 2 ml of water The specific gravity of gold is?
19.3. Specific gravity is another way of saying density.
What is the mineral property defied by Density of the mineral sample divided by the density of water?
Specific gravity.
What is a high specific gravity?
it is important because it helps determine what the mineral you are looking for is
What compares weight of mineral with weight of an equal volume of water?
Specific gravity
Do Most minerals have a higher specific gravity than water?
Water has a Specific Gravity of 1. Silicate mineral rocks have specific gravities from 2 to 4, generally. The answer is True.
What compare the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water?
Specific gravity compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water! :D
What compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water?
Specific gravity compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water! :D
Is Hardness or Specific gravity compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water?
Hardness compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water
What is the specific gravity of a substance that has a mass of 16.2 grams and it displaces 8.1 grams of water?
sg = 2sg = 2sg = 2sg = 2
