Imagine that we take the 1 m3 cube of sandstone described in the problem above and melt it (and then cool it) into a block of pure quartz with no voids. What would its volume be? Express your answer in m3

Step 1
Sandstone is primarily composed of quartz, but it also contains other minerals and materials, including clay, silt, and iron oxides. The density of sandstone varies, but it is generally around 2.2 to 2.8 g/cm³. Show more…

How much mass will the cube in Figure 1.21 have if a $2-\mathrm{cm}^{3}$ cube of the same material has a mass of 4.0 $\mathrm{g}$ ?
A crystal of quartz has a density of 2.65 g/cc. 3 (a) What is the mass (in grams) of a quartz crystal with a volume of 1.829 cm ? 3 (b) What is the density of quartz in kg/m ? (c) What is the volume (in mL) of a quartz crystal that weighs 2720 mg?

A $1-\mathrm{m}^{3}$ container is filled with $400 \mathrm{~kg}$ of granite stone, $200 \mathrm{~kg}$ of dry sand, and $0.2 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$ of liquid $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ water. Using properties from Tables $\mathrm{A} .3$ and A. 4 , find the average specific volume and density of the masses when you exclude air mass and volume.
