What is the hardness of pumice on moh's scale?
Pumice has a hardness of about 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
What is the mineral pumice's hardness on moh's scale?
Pumice has a hardness of about 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale.
What is the hardness of an unknown mineral that scratches glass but will not scratch quartz?
The unknown mineral would have a hardness greater than 5.5 (the hardness of glass) but less than 7 (the hardness of quartz). Based on the Mohs Hardness Scale, the unknown mineral would likely have a hardness between 6 and 7.
What hardness does a mineral have if it is scratched by glass but scratches an iron nail?
It would have to be 5.0 because glass has a hardness of 5.5 and an iron nail has the hardness of 4.5
What mineral has the greatest hardness?
The mineral with the greatest hardness is the diamond.
What mineral has hardness of 6?
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
What is the hardness of pumice on moh's scale?
Pumice has a hardness of about 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
What is the hardness of orthoclase?
Orthoclase has a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It is a common mineral found in granite and other igneous rocks.
What is hornblende's hardness?
the hardness scale for the mineral hornblende is 5-6.
What is augite hardness?
Augite has a hardness of around 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It is a common mineral found in igneous rocks and is known for its dark green to black color.
What is the mineral pumice's hardness on moh's scale?
Pumice has a hardness of about 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale.
If a mineral is a 6 on the mohs scale what can it be scracted by?
A mineral with a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale can be scratched by anything harder than a 6, such as minerals with a hardness of 7 or higher. It will not be scratched by minerals with a hardness of 5 or lower.
What mineral has a hardness of 6 and shows cleavage?
Galena
Which mineral has a hardness of 6 and has cleavage?
Orthoclase Feldspar.
What is the hardness of an unknown mineral that scratches glass but will not scratch quartz?
The unknown mineral would have a hardness greater than 5.5 (the hardness of glass) but less than 7 (the hardness of quartz). Based on the Mohs Hardness Scale, the unknown mineral would likely have a hardness between 6 and 7.
What will if you rub a mineral with the hardness of 3 with a mineral with a hardness of 9?
The mineral with hardness 3 will get scratched.
On a scale of 1-10 can a level 6 scratch a mineral over the level of six?
yes, though not easily. Moh's hardness scale is not very even- the difference between 5 and 6 is not that great and a sharp point of 5 can possibly scratch a rough surface of 6, the with damage to the 5. This is certainly true where a mineral is recorded as hardness 6, but has variable hardness, so the surface being scratched is actually lower than 6 - Disthene is a well-known example of a mineral with hardness that varies in different directions.
