m = 20 g

Volume = 12 cm³

D = m / V

D = 20 / 12

D = 1.67 g/cm³

hope this helps!

Answer:
1.67\ g/cm^3

Step-by-step 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}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}

Then, the density of a mineral sample is given by :-


\text{Density of mineral sample}=(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
