To
Find Specific Gravity
Divide the Mass in Air By The Mass Lost in Water |
 |
| Non-Metal Calcite = 2.7 | Metal Chalcopyrite = 4.2 | Non-Metal Sulfur = 2.1 |

| How
can a liquid with SG of 5.1
Be used to distinguish Pyrite SG 5.0 from Magnetite SG 5.2? |
Non-Metals
Have SG Below 3
Metals Have SG Above 3 |
Halite
can not be tested
in this way! Why? |
