If mineral has a special gravity of 5.5 how much more matter is there in 1 cm of this mineral that in 1 Cm of water?

A cm (centimetre) is a measure of distance, not volume. As a result, there can be no matter inside 1 cm of the mineral.

What minerals have a specific gravity of less than 1?
Yes. That's what specific gravity is all about - the comparison of the density of a material to that of an equal volume of water. If a material or substance has a specific gravity equal to that of water, its specific gravity (sometimes called "spee gee" by the chemists) is 1. If it is more dense, say twice as dense as water, its spee gee will be 2. If the spee gee of a substance, in this case a mineral, is less than 1, it is less dense than water and will float. There may be a few exceptions for porous materials, but this is the rule.
What is the specific gravity of a 75 percent IPA 25 percent DI water mix?
.850
Why would a canned tomato puree with high specific gravity usually be more expensive then one with lower specific gravity?
The cost of the higher specific gravity puree is higher because it is more concentrated due to a lower percentage of water. More tomatoes are used to make the same volume of puree if the specific gravity is higher. The specific gravity is a means of assessing how concentrated the puree is. More water is liberated from the tomato puree to make it more concentrated. More tomatoes are used, hence the higher cost.
What is the mass of 150 mL of water after it has frozen?
A milliliter of water, by definition, weighs one milligram. That is its mass. When 150 mL of water freezes, the volume of the water will change, but the mass will remain the same. So 150 mL of water will weight 150 mg, no matter what state of matter it's in.
How much is one liter in water bottle?
one liter is always one liter it doesn't matter if it is in a water bottle or or a bucket
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.
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
If a mineral has a specific gravity of 5.5 equals how much more matter is there in 1 cm3 of a mineral than 1 cm3 of water?
it would be the same specific density in the beginning, 5.5
What is a special mineral?
Water
If a mineral has a specific gravity of 5.5 how much more matter is there in 1 cm cubed of this mineral than in 1 cm cubed of water?
There's 5.5 times more mass. Specific gravity is the density of a material in relation to the density of water, so the 5.5 gives the answer.
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.
What is the mineral property defied by Density of the mineral sample divided by the density of water?
Specific gravity.

How do you get the specific gravity of a mineral?
Fill a beaker with water, and weigh it. Weigh a sample of the mineral. That's the mass of the mineral. Put the sample in the beaker and weigh that. The weight of the water-filled beaker plus the weight of the mineral sample will be greater than the weight of the beaker with mineral sample and water. The difference is the weight of the displaced water, in grams. The volume of the mineral sample, in cubic centimeters is equal to the weight of the displaced water, in grams. Calculate the specific gravity of the mineral by dividing the weight of the mineral sample by the volume of the mineral sample. Example: your beaker weighs 40 grams. Filled with water, it's 1040 grams. The sample of mineral weighs 160 grams. The beaker with the sample of mineral and water weighs 1179.7 grams. The mineral, and the beaker with water would have a combined weight of 1200 grams, but the beaker with mineral and water weighs 20.3 grams less than that, so the mineral sample is displacing 20.3 cubic centimeters of water. Given a mass of 160 grams and a volume of 2.03 CC, the specific gravity would be found by dividing 160 by 20.3. It's 7.85. (Which happens to be the specific gravity of some iron.)
What is a high specific gravity?
it is important because it helps determine what the mineral you are looking for is
