What element makes up both pyrite and rust?
Pyrite is FeS. When exposed to water and oxygen in the air, a chemical reaction occurs - forming iron hydroxide (rust) and sulfuric acid. Here is the reaction: FeS2 + 3.75O2 + 3.5H20 = Fe(OH)3 + 2H2SO4
Does pyrite react with hydrochloric acid to form bubbels?
pyrite does not react to acid at all, it doesnt do anything
How could you determine if a mineral is pyrite or?
If you mean pyrite or gold- gold is soft- pyrite is brittle. Gold melts easily- pyrite does not. Acid dissolves pyrite, but not gold. Finally- you may have heard "All that glitters is not gold". It SHOULD be "NOTHING that glitters is gold." Natural gold may be shiny, but does not glitter- like pyrites will.
What is the reaction of acid and hydroxide?
What is the reaction of acid and hydrogen
Reaction of nitric acid and sulfuric acid?
This reaction, if performed as a solvothermal reaction in ethylenediamine will result in iron pyrite nanowires. If instead benzene is used as the solvent, nanoscale iron pyrite spheres should result.

Does pyrite bubble when acid is droped on it?
No
Is decomposition of pyrite an important factor in generating acidic mine drainage?
Yes the sulphur in the pyrite makes sulphuric acid.
How do you clean pyrite?
Cyctric acid (lemon juice) or HCL

Balance the equation fes2 o2 --- fe2o3 so2 and name the reaction?
Pyrite (fools gold) reacts with Oxygen to make Hematite (Fe2O3) and Sulpher dioxide (SO2) The reaction is oxidation of pyrite. 2FeS2 + 3.5O2 - - Fe2O3 + 2SO2
What is the pH for pyrite?
pyrite (FeS2) containing soils (also called cat-clays) may become extremely acidic (pH < 4) due to the oxidation of pyrite into sulfuric acid (H2SO4). I don't know the ph for ONLY pyrite :)
How do you clean iron pyrite?
Gold won't dissolve in acid wheras pyrite will. That 'separates' them - but not too useful if its not the gold you want or you want both. If telling them apart is what you want then their density is different, their structure is different (crystalline mineral - pyrite) and their hardness is different.

Do I just pour the hydrocholoric acid directly on the sample of gold to dissolve the pyrite?
I would STRONGLY suggest that you do not play around with hydrochloric acid. Breathing the fumes is highly dangerous, not to mention getting it on your skin or in your eyes. It will also not dissolve pyrite.
