Does graphite scratch glass?
Yes, scientist have turned "mundane" form of carbon into diamond by applying enormous amounts of heat and pressure. These conditions are similar to what forms diamonds naturally. The process is expensive though.
What is the chemical reactivity of graphite?
Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.
Is graphite magnetic?
Graphite is not magnetic as it is made out of carbon. E.g; Pencil lead is mostly made out of graphite, it is NOT magnetic.
Does graphite scratch gypsum?

What property are you testing if you scratch a mineral with a penny a nail and your fingernail?
When you scratch a mineral with a penny, nail, and your fingernail, you are testing the mineral's hardness. The ability to scratch or be scratched by certain materials helps determine the mineral's hardness on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
