Well, it is an ore of sulphur and definetly not of gold, as you can buy pyrite at quite a low cost, therefore making it quite poplular for rock collectors. another reason it is popular is because of its interesting crystals and the fact that is looks like gold and people can often mistake it for it (unless you see the price!) hence the name 'fools gold'
What else can I help you with?
What metal is obtained in the ore magnetite?
Ferro-ferrous oxide. Fe3O4 Cubic Hardness 5.5-6.5 streak is black.
How can you extract iron ore from iron pyrite?
It's possible to do so (if you mean extract iron from iron pyrite) , but because pyrite is exothermic, it creates a hazard in mines. Also, it is much more economical to extract iron from other minerals. Pyrite is also geologically unstable, and will eventually turn into sulfurous minerals and actually viable iron ores, so it is best left for future mines. Pyrite is really only worth it for making sulfuric acid or jewelry.
How is tin obtained?
Tin is primarily obtained from its mineral cassiterite, which is mined and then processed to extract the tin metal. The ore is usually crushed, concentrated by gravity separation methods, and further refined through smelting or electrolytic refining to produce pure tin metal. Tin can also be obtained as a byproduct of mining other metals, such as copper and lead.
Copper can be obtained from its ores by smelting true or false?
True. Copper can be obtained from its ores by smelting, a process that involves heating the ore in a furnace to extract the metal.
How is metal mined or obtained?
Metal is often mined from the Earth's crust through a process known as mining. This involves extracting ore deposits containing metal minerals from the ground using various methods like surface mining or underground mining. The ore is then processed to extract the metal through processes like crushing, grinding, and smelting.
What metal is obtained from hematite ore?
Hematite is an ore of the element Iron.
What metal is obtained from the ore magnesite?
megnesium
What metal is obtained from the ore chalcocite?
Chalcocite is a copper(I) sulfide (Cu2S), an important copper ore mineral
Is lead an ore?
Lead is not an ore. Lead is a metal which is obtained by refining lead ore (or which may be a byproduct of the refinement of other metals).
Is ore extracted from a mineral or a mineral extracted from an ore?
An ore is a rock or mineral from which a valuable metal can be obtained through refining processes.
An example of an ore?
Iron pyrite
A rock that contains a metal or economically useful mineral is called a?
This is a raw material (feedstock).
What metal is obtained in the ore magnetite?
Ferro-ferrous oxide. Fe3O4 Cubic Hardness 5.5-6.5 streak is black.
What are two homophones for or?
He used an oar to paddle the canoe. The cave is full of iron ore. The definition of ore is: rock or earth from which metal can be obtained.
Are useful metals obtained from an ore through the process of crystallization?
No, the useful metals are typically obtained from an ore through processes like mining, crushing, grinding, and smelting to extract the metal from the ore. Crystallization is a process used for purifying metals rather than extracting them from ores.
What is pyrite's formula?
Pyrite is an iron ore, which has the chemical formula FeS2 (Iron (II) Sulfide) The sulfide ion present is S22-
Do we get copper from trees?
No, copper is a metal. It is obtained by mining various copper ores from underground, then smelting the ore in a very hot furnace to separate the copper from everything else in the ore.
