Answer: \(1.67\ g/cm^3\)
Explanation:
Given that the volume of a mineral sample= \(12\ cm^3\)
Mass of linseed oil = 20 g
Formula to calculate the density is given by :-
\(\text{Density}=\dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\)
Then, the density of a mineral sample is given by :-
\(\text{Density of mineral sample}=\dfrac{20}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Density}=1.66666666667\approx1.67\ g/cm^3\) [Rounded to the nearest two decimal places.]
Hence, its density of a mineral sample = \(1.67\ g/cm^3\)
