Pyrite acid reaction refers to the chemical reaction between pyrite (iron sulfide) and acid, typically hydrochloric acid. This reaction produces hydrogen sulfide gas, sulfur dioxide gas, and iron chloride as products. It is often used as a test to identify the presence of pyrite in mineral samples.
Yes, pyrite does react with hydrochloric acid to form bubbles of sulfur dioxide gas. This reaction occurs because hydrochloric acid reacts with the iron sulfide in pyrite to release sulfur dioxide gas as a byproduct.
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
Pyrite itself is not toxic to humans, but it can produce sulfuric acid when exposed to air and water, which can be harmful if ingested or inhaled.
Pyrite itself is not poisonous. However, it can generate sulfuric acid when exposed to water or air, which can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. It is advised to handle pyrite with caution to avoid potential harm.
Pyrite will not dissolve in water or any type of simple acid. It is a very stable mineral and is resistant to weathering and dissolution under normal environmental conditions.

Yes the sulphur in the pyrite makes sulphuric acid.

Cyctric acid (lemon juice) or HCL
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 :)
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.

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.
Pyrite is used for carpeting houses, growing food, bone density, manufacturing sulfur, sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide, and inexpensive jewelry.
