23. In the lab, the masses of 2 mineral samples, one of olivine and one of spinel, of the same size and shape were determined. Which of the following statements about the samples is most consistent with the information in Scientists 2's viewpoint? The mass of the olivine sample would be:
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Look at the second line of Scientist 2, olivine, changes to denser mineral called spinel...Because the density of the spinel is higher, the mass of the spinel is greater than that of olivine (m=ρV) at the same volume
