Hi!How would you prepare Iron Pyrites, a.k.a Iron Sulphide, Fool‘s Gold, FeS2, in the lab???
Prepare it for what, Its a poor quality Iron ore. If you want to make it don't I think A volcano made that stuff. I doubt you have access to equipmetn to similate the heat and pressure to make decent crystals.
Iron disulfide (FeS2) is prepared in the lab by heating powdered Iron with Sulfur. The resulting compound is not the mineral Iron pyrite. Iron pyrite is the cubic crystalline form of this compound. It requires special conditions of cooling and pressure for Iron disulfide to form Iron pyrite. Because the natural mineral is very inexpensive and abundant, artificial methods of production are usually not attempted.
very confusing aspect. lookup with yahoo. that will might help!
