Conversion of silica mineral to Cristobalite is accompanied by reduction in its ____________________?
Correct answer: B. Specific gravity
- A. Volume
- B. Specific gravity
- C. Both A. & B.
- D. Neither A. nor B.
Explanation
Conversion of silica to cristobalite involves a lower-density crystal structure, so the specific gravity decreases while the volume generally increases. Hence only specific gravity is reduced.
