What is the density of iron ore?

The density of iron ore is variable. Iron ore refers to a rocktype that contains iron minerals. The type and concentration of the iron minerals as well the type and concentration of non-iron minerals determines the density of the iron ore. Typical high grade iron ore is approximately 65% hematite and 35% other (commonly silicate). The density of hematite is approximately 5 g/cc and a general density for crustal rocks (silicates) is approximately 2.67 g/cc. Therefore iron ore that is 65% hematite and 35% silicate would have a density of approximately 4 g/cc.


What is density of iron boat?

That depends on how much gargo it's carrying. But if it's floating, then its density is less than 1.0 .


What is the density of a iron nail?

Iron has a density of approximately 7.86g/cm3. Nails are not usually made from pure iron, but from soft steel, a mixture of iron and carbon. The density, however, is pretty much the same depending on the grade of steel used.


Why does high volume and low mass equal low density?

High volume and low mass result in low density because density is calculated by dividing mass by volume. When the mass is low compared to the volume, the density will also be low because there is less mass per unit of volume.


Does iron box float on water when density of iron is less than water?

No, even if the density of the iron is less than water, the density of the iron box as a whole would still be greater than water, making it sink. Density is determined by the total mass of an object divided by its total volume, not just the material it is made of.

Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?

A block of iron will float in mercury due to the higher density of iron compared to mercury. In water, the iron block will sink because the density of iron is higher than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the iron block is determined by the density of the surrounding fluid.

Does steel have a high or low density?

The Density of Low Grade SteelThe density of low grade steel is on the order of 7850 kg/m3, 78.5 kN/m3, 7.85 g/cc or 0.2836 lb/in3.


Is the density of a kilogram of iron less than the density of 1 gram of iron?

No. That's the beauty of "density". It's a characteristic of the substance, and the size of the sample has no effect on it. As long as the sample is pure, a pinhead of it has the same density as a truckload of it.
