Hanksite and Copper Chemical Formula
While comparing Hanksite and Copper physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Hanksite and Copper chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Hanksite- KNa22(SO4)9(CO3)2Cl
- Chemical formula of Copper- Cu
Hanksite and Copper Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hanksite and Copper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hanksite and Copper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hanksite is Not Available whereas that of Copper is Not Available.
