As explained below.

  • These rocks like the magmas of 750 to 950 degrees temperature are dark in color and higher pressure and others that don't have this high content are characterized as sedimentary or metamorphic in nature.  
  • <u>These have less density and light color with layered structures present in them.</u>

High iron and magnesium rocks have a high percentage of dark-colored (mafic) minerals.

So the high iron and magnesium would be darker than the low iron and magnesium.

Gasoline has a density of 0.749 g/mL. How many pounds does 19.2 gallons of gasoline weigh? Use significant figures. Do not enter
Yanka [14]
In this question, you are given the gasoline density (0.749g/ml) and volume of the gasoline (19.2 gallons). You are asked the mass of the gasoline in pounds. Then you need to change the grams into pounds and the ml into gallons. The calculation would be:

mass of gasoline= density * volume
mass of gasoline=  0.749g/ml * (1 pound/453.592grams) * 3785.41ml/gallon * 19.2 gallon= 120 pounds
