What is the specific gravity of a mineral that weighs 27 grams and takes up 10.4 cubic cm of space?

It would be 2.596. Take the density in grams divided by its volume. So, 27 grams divided by 10.4 cubic cm= 2.56 g/cubic cm which would then be divided by the density of water, which is 1 g/ cubic cm, and the g/ cubic cm cancels out, leaving the answer as 2.596 without a unit. Hope that helps.

How much does a cubic foot of hydraulic fluid weigh?
Mobil DTE 25 has a specific gravity of 0.876. Water weighs 62.387531 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, one cubic foot of Mobil DTE 25 weighs 54.651477 pounds. Most hydraulic fluids have a similar specific gravity.
How many kilograms in a cubic feet or cubic meter of 10mm?
It depends on 10mm what, and the density (or specific gravity) of whatever that substance is.
What is the specific gravity of galena?
the specific gravity of galena is 7.4-7.6, so the average is 7.5
Is copper more or less denser than water?
A cubic foot of Copper weighs 550 pounds and has a specific gravity of nearly 9. A cubic foot of Tin weighs 450 pounds and has a specific gravity of 7.29. So, Copper is more dense than Tin.
If the specific gravity of diesel is zero point 86 how many litres are in 1 cubic meter and how is this calculated?
Converting cubic meters into liters has nothing to do with the substance being measured (e.g. diesel). Both are measurements of volume, and one cubic meter is always equal to one thousand liters:1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters Specific Gravity is the weight of a certain amount of a substance compared with the weight of an equal amount of pure water. In other words, we know that one gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds, and so to find the weight of one gallon of a substance with a specific gravity of 0.86 one would simply multiply as follows:8.34 x 0.86 = 7.1724 poundsHere are instructions for finding the weight of one cubic meter (one thousand liters) of a substance having a specific gravity of 0.86:First, convert one cubic meter into gallons, because we already know the weight of water per gallon:1 cubic meter = 264.172051 US gallonsNext, find the weight of one cubic meter (264.172051 gallons) of water:264.172051 x 8.34 = 2,203.19491 pounds (This is the weight of one cubic meter of water)Finally, use the specific gravity of the substance in question (0.86) to find its weight in comparison to that of the water:2,203.19491 x 0.86 = 1,894.74762 pounds (This is the weight of one cubic meter of diesel assuming that its specific gravity is 0.86)
What is the specific gravity of stainless steel?
Steel has a Specific Gravity of 7.83. This means that a cubic foot of steel weighs 7.83 times more than a cubic foot of water (which weighs 62.4 pounds)
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.)
How much does a cubic foot of hydraulic fluid weigh?
Mobil DTE 25 has a specific gravity of 0.876. Water weighs 62.387531 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, one cubic foot of Mobil DTE 25 weighs 54.651477 pounds. Most hydraulic fluids have a similar specific gravity.
When does a specific gravity of 2.509 equal a density of 50 pounds per cubic foot?
Never. The specific gravity of a substance is its density compared to water. If that happens to be 2.509, then any amount of the substance weighs 2.509 times as much as an equal amount of water. One cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds, so one cubic foot of the substance you've described weighs about 156.6 pounds. "50 pounds per cubic foot" means that the specific gravity is about 0.80 .
How much does a cubic foot of dte Mobil 25 weigh?
Mobil DTE 25 has a specific gravity of 0.876. Water weighs 62.387531 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, one cubic foot of Mobil DTE 25 weighs 54.651477 pounds.
What wood is harder lignum vitae or ebony?
Lignum Vitae is the hardest, densest wood in the world specific gravity over 1.4. Black Ebony has a specific gravity from 1.0-1.3, both will sink in water. Ebony weighs about 70 pounds per cubic foot, and Lignum Vitae weighs over 85 pound per cubic foot
Weight of 1 cubic foot of Gravel?
About 120 lbJust for reference: 1 cubic foot = 6.25 gallons (imperial), I gallon of water weighs 10 lb, so a cubic foot of water weighs 62.5 pounds. This means the specific gravity of gravel is 120/62.5, or a bit less than 2.
How to Find Volume when given mass and specific gravity?
Volume = mass / specific gravity. Units are cubic centimeters and grams or cubic meters and tonnes. s.g. has no units : it is a dimensionless quantity.
What would the density of a compound be if it had a specific gravity of 1.08?
The density of a compound with a specific gravity of 1.08 is 1.08 g / cubic centimeter
If water has specific gravity 62.4 pounds per cubic feet what is the specific gravity of ice?
0.9168, or 916.8 kg/m3
Do equal volumes of different substances have equal weights?
No, it depends on the specific gravity (or relative density) of the substance. E. g. Compare the weighs of 1 cubic metres of cork and iron.
How is specific gravity calculated?
Weight in grams per cubic centimetre.
