I understand that I am suppose to use the formula: Change in V = BV(original volume)T(change in temperature) I know that the answer is 5.1. what i don't know is how to actaully apply the formula...please someone help me!!!
You almost need to have a diamond tester. Quarts and diamond are very close together on the Moh's hardness scale and a proper identification can be difficult especially since they both form in a variety of colors (although diamond is always in light shades). Your specimen is likely too small to do a scratch test on and the streak is similar to quartz.
yeah just look up any kind of houshold item that can scratch quartz, it's a 7 on the hardness scale, diamonds an 10.
This Site Might Help You. RE: How i know the differences between raw quartz and raw diamond? I?ve found a little stone, clear, like a raw quartz or raw diamond, How i know the differences? how can i test that? or be so sure that is quartz? thanks
Check the hardness. Scratch them against a tile of glass, Diamond is harder than Quartz so it should have a greater scratch. Diamonds are 10 on the Mohs' scale of hardness and quartz are 7. Also try check the specific gravity. I'm not sure but I think Diamond has a greater specific gravity then quartz..
