You obviously need to know how thick it is. There is a system of sheet metal gauge based on sheet 1 inch thick, which weighs (for steel) 41.82 lb/sq ft. The gauge number corresponds to a factor which you use to multiply this figure, depending on the thickness. See Wikipedia 'Sheet Metal Gauge' for details. Galvanised steel is slightly different to plain steel.

Galvanized steel is steel that has been coated in zinc to keep it from corroding. ZINCALUME ¬ Steel, manufactured by Steelscape, is a metallic coated sheet steel offering two to four times the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel.

Galvanization is the application of zinc coating to provide a protective covering that will preferentially corrode. Large, heavy and bulky items can be galvanized by pickling (soaking in acid) and dipping the item in a tank of molten zinc.

Galvalume is a proprietary coating that is a mixture (or allow) of aluminum and zinc. It is generally applied to sheet steel products in a shop. These products could never be galvanized as they are thin and are fabricated in large rolls. Therefore galvanizing and galvalume are not competing technologies as they have different practical applications.

They are effectively the same thing because pure iron is almost never used and steel (iron/carbon alloy) is used for practical purposes. Galvanized means that the steel is coated with Zinc to prevent corrosion.

Galvalume has the same density as steel since galvalume is simply a coating applied to steel.

In practice, nothing, although there are various ways to achieve a coating of zinc on any object.

Is galvanized iron homogenous or heterogeneous mixture?

Steel is galvanized by giving it a surface coating of zinc. Heterogenous mixtures have visible boundaries between the components. Homogeneous mixtures have no visible boundaries because mixing occurs at the molecular level. Galvanized steel is thus a heterogeneous mixture.
