Describe how to distinguish between a mineral with a hardness of 6 and one with a hardness of 4 using only a glass plate and a copper penny?

To distinguish between a mineral with a hardness of 6 and one with a hardness of 4, you can use the glass plate and the copper penny for comparison. First, scratch the mineral against the glass plate; if it scratches the glass, it has a hardness greater than 5. Then, use the copper penny to scratch the mineral; if the mineral scratches the penny, it has a hardness greater than 3. If it scratches the glass but not the penny, it has a hardness of 6; if it scratches the penny but not the glass, it has a hardness of 4.

What is the hardness of a mineral that is scratched by steel but does not scratch glass?

A mineral that can be scratched by steel (which has a hardness of about 6.5 on the Mohs scale) but does not scratch glass (which has a hardness of about 5.5-6) would likely have a hardness between 5 and 6. This means the mineral is softer than steel but harder than glass, indicating it falls within the range of 5.5 to 6 in terms of hardness.


What hardness dos a mineral have if it does not scratch glass but it scratches an iron nail?

A mineral that cannot scratch glass but can scratch an iron nail has a hardness between 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Glass typically has a hardness of around 5.5, while iron nails generally have a hardness of about 4.5. Therefore, the mineral's hardness falls within this range, indicating it is harder than the nail but softer than glass.
