Question

31. 12 Mica, with a density of ( 1.5 mathrm{~g} cdot mathrm{cm}^{-3} ), can be expanded into vermiculite, which is used as a low-density soil amendment. The vermiculite used in soils has an average density of ( 0.10 mathrm{~g} cdot mathrm{cm}^{-3} ). Estimate the volume of the vermiculite obtained by expanding ( 52.0 mathrm{~cm}^{3} ) of mica.

Step 1

To find the mass of the mica, use the formula for density: \(\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\). Rearrange this formula to solve for mass: \(\text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume}\). Given that the density of mica is \(1.5 \, Show more…
