Agreed with your correspodent 'Answer Bot'. However, do not be 'fooled' by iron pyrites'. It is known as 'Fool's Gold' , because its coloiur is very similar to Gold. However, Gold has a rounded form , whereas Iron Pyrites has a more angular form .

The density of gold is 19.3 g cm3 The density of iron pyrite is 5.0 g cm3 If a nugget of iron pyrite and a nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g what can you conclude about the volume of each nugget?

The nugget of gold has a volume of 2.6 cm3, and the nugget of pyrite has a volume of 10 cm3.


If a nugget of iron pyrite and a nugget of gold each have a mass of 50gwhat can you conclude about the volume of each nugget?

Since the density of gold is higher than that of iron pyrite, the gold nugget will have a smaller volume than the iron pyrite nugget. This is because for two materials with the same mass, the denser one will occupy less space.


The density of gold is 19.3 gcm The density of iron pyrite is 5.0 gcm a nugget of iron pyrite and a nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g what can you conclude about the volume of each nugget?

To find the volume of each nugget, we can use the formula ( \text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} ). For gold, the volume would be ( \frac{50 , \text{g}}{19.3 , \text{g/cm}^3} \approx 2.59 , \text{cm}^3 ), while for iron pyrite, the volume would be ( \frac{50 , \text{g}}{5.0 , \text{g/cm}^3} = 10 , \text{cm}^3 ). Therefore, the volume of the nugget of iron pyrite is significantly larger than that of the gold nugget.


If the volume of the sample of pyrite equals the volume of the sample of gold how many?

If the volumes of the samples of pyrite and gold are equal, you cannot directly determine the number of samples without knowing the specific mass or density of each material. Pyrite has a lower density (about 5 g/cm³) compared to gold (about 19.3 g/cm³), meaning that for the same volume, a sample of gold would weigh significantly more than a sample of pyrite. Therefore, while the volumes may be equal, the mass of gold will be greater than that of pyrite.

What mineral property can be used to distinguish between pyrite and chalco pyrite?

Pyrite also known as "fool's gold" is a mineral that has both a different chemical, morphological and physical characteristics than gold. Gold is denser (i.e. the same size of gold is much heavier than the that of pyrite). Gold's average density is 17.64 g/cm3 while Pyrite's density is on average 5.01 g/cm3. The chemical formulas are different. Gold's chemical formula is "Au" while Pyrite's is and iron sulfate mineral with a formula of "FeS2". The color is also different, gold appears the color of gold while pyrite is more bronze in color. The crystallographic form of the minerals also vary. Gold is a very soft mineral while Pyrite is much harder (gold has a hardness of 2.5 while Pyrite is 6.5). To distinguish between a sample of each, you could scratch the surface of gold using your fingernail which you would not be able to do with pyrite. You can try to scratch it because pyrite or fools gold much harder then gold so if it doesn't scratch that much it is most likely pyrite or fools gold. You can tell them apart by looking at their reflection and streak. Also, gold is much more dense than pyrite, so the same volume would 'weigh' about 3.5 times more. Gold has a hardness of about 2.5, while pyrite is about 6 (Gold is softer and more malable). Streak is used to distinguish between Gold and Pyrite.


How much pyrite us mined a year?

About 80 million metric tons of pyrite are mined worldwide each year. The largest producers include China, Peru, and Russia. Pyrite is primarily used for producing sulfur dioxide, a precursor to sulfuric acid, and for the production of iron and steel.


What elements do pyrite and magnetite have in common?

Pyrite and magnetite are both metallic minerals that are heavy and have a metallic luster. They are often found in association with each other in certain types of rocks, such as igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks. Both minerals are known for their magnetic properties, with magnetite being strongly magnetic and pyrite being weakly magnetic.

Compute the volume of each prism?

volume=lengthxwidthxheight


What can you conclude from seeing identical containers with identical fish in them but with different volume of water in each container?

The one with the greater surface area would have more oxygen available to the fish. The one with the greater volume has a fixed amount of oxygen that can be dissolved in a given amount. The one with the greater surface area has more oxygen available over time.
