What is the pH for pyrite?
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 :)
Why does homemade pyrite look more like lava rock than natural pyrite?
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
How do you balance Fe plus S --- Fe2?
In laboratory settings, you can make react a mixture of powdered sulphurand iron filings by heating. The end product is Ferrous Sulfide;Fe + S ----> FeSIron sulfides in nature are Pyrite and Marcasitewhose formula is; FeS2 .
Biblical ptophet said to have parted the Jordan purified the water of the Jericho spring with salt and made an iron axe head float in water?
The Prophet in the Bible who did these things was Elisha.
What is the hardness of iron on the Moh's scale?
Iron is not a mineral used in Moh's hardness scale.
What is the chemical formula of iron pyrite?
The chemical formula of iron pyrite is FeS2.
What elements make iron pyrite?
iron and sulfur Pyrite is iron sulfide, FeS2.
Is there lead in pyrite?
No, Pyrite is iron and sulfur
Is pyrite a mineral or non mineral?
No. Pyrite is a compound composed of iron (a metal) and sulfur (a nonmetal).
Is iron pyrite malleable?
No, iron pyrite, unlike iron, is not malleable at all. It is a hard, inflexible rock.
Does a magnet stick to iron pyrite?
It is ferrous thus the answer is YES
Is iron pyrite magnetic?

Pyrite is FeS2, an iron sulfide.
What is the systematic name of pyrite?
Iron Disulphide : FeS2
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.
What is the difference between iron and iron pyrite?
Iron is composed only of the element Fe (iron). Iron pyrite (most correctly referred to as pyrite) is a mineral composed of Fe and S (sulfur).
Why is pyrite called fool's gold?
Fool's gold is iron pyrites, iron sulphide, FeS2. It is a sulphide mineral.
