Gneiss is a sedimentary rock and granite is a metamorphic rock.

<h3>What are rocks?</h3>

Rocks are geological hard materials that are made up of various types which include:

  • Sedimentary rocks: These are rocks that made up of various layers formed from sediments. Example is the gnesis.

  • Metamorphic rocks: These are rocks that are form from pre existing rocks that undergoes some transformation. Example is granite

Therefore, Gneiss is a sedimentary rock and granite is a metamorphic rock.

What is/are the principal product(s) formed when excess methylmagnesium iodide reacts with p-hydroxyacetophenone?
Montano1993 [528]

The end product will depend upon

a) the amount of the reagent taken

b) the final treatment of the reaction

If we have just taken methylmagnesium iodide and p-hydroxyacetophenone, then we will get methane and hydroxyl group substituted with MgI in place of hydrogen

Figure 1

However if we have taken excess of methylmagnesium iodide which is Grignard's reagent followed by hydrolysis we will get different product

Figure 2

1. If I have 45 L of He in a balloon at 25 degrees celsius and increase the temperature of the
Greeley [361]

Use Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2. We assume the pressure and mass of the helium is constant. The units for temperature must be in Kelvin to use this equation (x °C = x + 273.15 K).

We want to solve for the new volume after the temperature is increased from 25 °C (298.15 K) to 55 °C (328.15 K). Since the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure are directly proportional to each other, we should expect the new volume of the balloon to be greater than the initial 45 L.

Rearranging Charles' Law to solve for V2, we get V2 = V1T2/T1.  

(45 L)(328.15 K)/(298.15 K) = 49.5 ≈ 50 L (if we're considering sig figs).
