Where: D = density (g/cm) M = mass (g) of mineral specimen V = the difference (mL) between the volume of water containing a mineral specimen, and the original volume of water Volume displacement method: a) Fill a graduated beaker with 500 ml of water. b) Record the mineral's weight in grams. c) Place the mineral in the beaker and record the new ml level of water. d) Subtract the original water level from the new water level. e) Calculate the density of the sample.
