A weight of 14.81 grams of an unknown soil constituent was transferred to a graduated cylinder containing an initial volume of 13.35 ml H2O (see following figure). An additional 7.92 ml H2O was then used to wash down the inside walls of the cylinder, bringing the final volume to 24.66 ml. Find the particle density [Select] and, referring to the table of densities for common soil constituents below, identify the unknown soil constituent [Select] and its chemical composition.
