A specimen weighing 78 g displaces 30 cm\( ^3 \) of water. Its specific gravity is

  • A.0.38
  • B.26
  • C.2340
  • D.2.6

Answer: D

Correct answer: 2.6

Specific gravity is the mass divided by the mass of an equal volume of water, and 30 cm³ of water has a mass of 30 g: \[ \frac{78}{30} = 2.6. \] The figure is characteristic of quartz and the feldspars, so a specimen at 2.6 in an ordinary rock is most likely one of them.
