What you find when you scratch mineral over an unglazed tile?
The answer will depend on the mineral. Some minerals, such as talc, are extremely soft and will not mark the tile.
What do you find when you scratch a mineral over an unglazed tite?
If you are my classmate ill be very surprised. the answer is streak the box is made wrong. PS: if you are my class mate i remind u that our teachers printer is BROKEN...
Which mineral rock is used to find the streak color of minerals?
The rock used to find a mineral's streak color is unglazed porcelain.
What you find when scratch a mineral over an unglazed tile?
What you are referring to is called a streak test. It's used as an aid to mineral identification. As a mineral is drawn over the unglazed tile surface, it is reduced to a streak of dust which reveals the true color of the mineral. If no color is revealed, the streak color is called white. An amethyst crystal which appears purplish will actually have a white streak, because the streak color of the constituent quartz is white. The purplish color of amethyst is due to other reasons.
What is it called when you perform a scratch test on a mineral?
It is called a streak and its purpose is to find the hardness of the mineral.
What characteristic is used to determine the color of a mineral's powder?
The characteristic used to determine the color of a mineral's powder is known as its "streak color." This is achieved by scratching the mineral against an unglazed porcelain plate to observe the color of the powdered residue left behind. Streak color can sometimes differ from the visible color of the mineral.
What you find when you scratch a mineral over a tile?
Usually the mineral deposits a certain color or colors that you wouldn't see otherwise.
Describe how you can test a mineral to determine its hardness density and streak?
Hardness: Try to use it to scratch other minerals and have other minerals scratch it. Take for example quartz. It's a 7.0 and will scratch every mineral below a 7.0 on the Mohs hardness scale. However, it will be scratched by everything above it such as Diamond (10.0) and Corundum( rubies andsapphires, 9.0)Streak: Use a streak plate and simply run the mineral down the plateDensity: Find the mass and volume of the mineral. For volume you'll more than likely, have a mineral that will beirregularlyshaped. You'll have to use the displacement method by filling a graduatedcylinderwith x amount of water and put the mineral inside subtracting and before and after water placement and find the difference. After this, you'll divide the mass by volume and you'll get your answer to the density of the mineral.
What is the difference between a scratch test and a streak test?
a streak test is a test wheree you rub a mineral across a streak plate to see the color of its streak, which is a better indentifying factor of the mineral than the external color. A scratch test is when you scratch a mineral to find out its hardness on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. This is also another useful identifying factor
What is used to find the streak of a mineral?
The streak of a mineral refers to the color left on a streak plate after rubbing a mineral across its surface. A streak plate can be as simple as the unglazed side of a porcelain tile. The streak is the mineral in a powdered form from abrasion with the hard, slightly textured surface of the unglazed porcelain streak plate. The streak color may differ from the color observed in a specimen. The streak is used as an aid in the identification of minerals.
How could you find out the relative hardness of three minerals if you had no tools and couldn't use your fingernail?
You could perform a scratch test by trying to scratch one mineral with another. Whichever mineral leaves a mark or scratch on the other is harder. By comparing the results of scratching each mineral with the others, you can determine their relative hardness.
