The most likely reason is that basalt is an extrusive rock, while granite is an intrusive rock. What this means is that basalt forms at the surface of the earth, where temperatures are cooler. Because of the cooler external temperature, basalt cools relatively quickly, and there isn't as much time for mineral crystals within the rock to align to form larger crystals while the rock is cooling. Granite, on the other hand, forms below the surface of the earth, where temperatures are significantly higher. Therefore, it doesn't cool as quickly, and the minerals within granite have more time to form larger crystals and the rock cools.
Answer:The purple color is due to a mixture of the pink aqua complex and blue chloro complex and is not due to a new species.
Explanation:
The pink aqua complex of cobalt can be in equilibrium with blue chloro complex of cobalt giving rise to a purple colour. This equilibrium is governed by Le Chaterliers principle. A change in chloride or water concentration could shift the equilibrium towards any of the species causing its colour to become the dominant colour of the solution.
The freezing temperature at a normal sea level air pressure is negative 78.5 degrees.
