Answer:

The correct answer is glassy.

Explanation:

Obsidian, or also known as volcanic glass, is a type of igneous rock (volcanic rock belonging to the silicates), formed by aluminum silicates and a large percentage of silicic oxides.

The obsidian is formed when a volcano emerges lava that cools quickly, which has a minimum growth of crystals. In the flows where it is obtained, the high silica oxide content induces a high viscosity and degree of polymerization of the lava. The inhibition of atomic diffusion in this highly viscous and polymerized lava explains the lack of crystal growth, giving shape to the glassy texture.

Have a nice day!

A 0.8kg object displaces 500ml of water what is its specific gravity
worty [1.4K]

Specific gravity is the ratio of density of substance and density of water

We know that density of water = 1 g /mL at standard conditions

now as given that the 0.8 Kg of the substance / object is able to displace 500mL of water , it means that

Mass of object = 800g

The volume occupied by 800g of object = 500 mL

Density = mass / volume

Density of object = 800 / 500= 1.6 g / mL

The specific gravity of object = density of object  / density of water = 1.6 / 1 = 1.6 (no units)

Briefly describe how the pH of a colourless solution could be measured using a universal indicator​
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Universal indicator can show us how strongly acidic or alkaline a solution is, not just that the solution is acidic or alkaline. This is measured using the pH scale , which runs from pH 0 to pH 14.

A stack of 15 pennies is immersed into a 100 mL graduate initially containing 20.6 mL of water. The volume in the graduate cylin
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: 5.4

Explanation: The Law of Impenetrability says that two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time; therefore, the pennies and the water can't occupy the same space at the same time. Without the pennies the water level read 20.6 mL, dropping in the pennies gives a level of 26.0.

One beaker contains 19.93 mL, another contains 14.0 mL and a third contains 10.6 mL. What is the total volume of the three beake
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{44.5 mL}}

Explanation:

When adding or subtracting values, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.  

That is, you round off to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places.

\begin{array}{r|r}19.9& \text{3 mL}\\14.0&\text{mL}\\10.6&\text{mL} \\\mathbf{44.5} &\textbf{3 mL}\\\end{array}

The measurements of 14.0 and 10.6 have one digit after the decimal point, so you round the sum to have only one digit to the right of the decimal.

The number to be dropped (3) is less than 5, so you drop it.

\text{The total volume of the three beakers is $\large \boxed{\textbf{44.5 mL}}$}
