Question

the density of a mineral is 2.6 g cm3 what is its specific gravity

Answer 1

Answer:

2.6

Explanation:

Given that,

The density of a mineral is 2.6 g/cm³

The ratio of the density of mineral to the density of water is called is specific gravity.

We know that, the density of water is 1 g/cm³

So,

$SG=\dfrac{2.6\ g/cm^3}{1\ g/cm^3}\\\\SG=2.6$

So, its specific gravity is 2.6.
