    Specific gravity of mineral = 2.6

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    Density of mineral = 2.6 g/cm³

    Specific gravity = ?

    Solution:

    Specific gravity:

    Specific gravity of a substance is ration of density of substance and the density of reference substance. It is unit less quantity.

    Mostly water is taken as reference substance.

    The density of water is 1 g/cm³

    Thus the specific gravity of mineral is,

    Specific gravity of mineral = density of mineral / density of water

    Specific gravity of mineral = 2.6 g/cm³ / 1 g/cm³

    Specific gravity of mineral = 2.6
