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 :)
No, a lump of iron pyrite will sink in water.
It is because homemade pyrite cools within a few second, not giving it enough time to for crystals, unlike natural pyrite, which had years to cool underground giving it enough time to form crystals
everything has a pH
Acids generally have a pH ranging from 1 - 6. pH 1 being the most acidic, and pH 6 being the least acidic. eg, hydrochloric acid, nitric aicd, sulfuric acid has a pH of 1. Ethanoic acid has a pH of 3.
Normally term,'PH' of a solution is used determine the strength of an acid which is nothing but the concentration of H+ ion concentration in a solution. ph= -log[H+] concentration.... since its -ve log hence smaller value of PH means it's more strong acid. ph=7 is value of water which is neutral. pH ranging below 7 are acids & above 7 are bases.
Pyrite is the mineral whereas a pyrite 'cube' happens to be the habit in which the mineral has crystallised
pyrite is made of FeS2
What cleavage does pyrite have
the hardness of pyrite is 6.5
No, Pyrite is iron and sulfur
the hardness of pyrite is 6.5
The diaphaneity of pyrite is opaque.
Pyrite has the property fracture. - Raymond Cheung
Definitely pyrite for one
Pyrite
Pyrite is a mineral that can form crystals.
Pyrite is not exploited in cities.
