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....
The shape or size of a mineral sample does not affect its density. Since mass is proportional to volume, an increase in mass also increases the volume. The ratio between the two remains constant, hence the density is not affected.
specific gravity = relative density ( relative to water) , so if the mineral is 10 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is 10
it's density
Density. Since density = mass/volume, if you have a substance A, it has density(A), which is given in a standard form of ## grams per cm^3 (cubic centimeter) or mL (milliliter). The density of water is 1.0g/mL. Thus, suppose the mass of substance A is 10 grams and it's volume is 5 cm^3. Then, it's density is 2g/mL. If you looked at 5cm^3 (or 5mL) of water, it's mass would be 5 grams. Therefore, the ratio of the two masses of equal volumes substance A and water is exactly the ratio of the two densities, which equals the density of substance A.
Density of gypsum is from 2.312 - 2.322 g/cm3 or gram per cubic centimeter. The calculated density of this sulphate mineral is 2.308 g/cm3.
The mineral quartz has a density of 2.65 grams per cubic centimeter. It is a colorless mineral that is mainly composed of silicon dioxide.
Very close to 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Depends slightly on mineral content and temperature of the water.

Mineral density should know. Weight / density = volume
A cartridge is NOT 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.
13.0
Its density is: 3.19

Nagyagite is the only mineral with a density of 7.5
No, it doesn't.
