This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Pumice is a lightweight rock that sometimes forms when lava is very rich in _____. A. silica B. gases C. feldspar D. volcanic glass

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. volcanic glass.

Explanation:

Pumice stone is a very common stone used for construction or cleaning among other things.

This rock is formed through lava that contains water and gas and comes from the inside of a volcano, so when this lava is thrown out of the volcano it cools and hardens, and is filled with bubbles of volcanic gas.

This type of rock is low density and can float on water.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is the option D. volcanic glass

What environment will produce the largest crystal sizes?

VMariaS [17]

The pressure should be low as low pressure can melt the crystals easier way
According to Gay lussac's law pressure is directly proportional to temperature so temperature should be also low as it's general any thing need to be cooled down inorder to get crystallised
Now for amount of dissolved solids the solution should be super saturated like magma .It denotes that the particles present as solute must be greater than the solubility.
Cooling time also should be long inorder to give time to crystallization

How to get the formulas for these compounds

Travka [436]

So what you’re going to do is basically the + and - in each top hand corner is the charge of compound, so for example Li has a charge of +1 while Br has a charge of -1 , to write the formula you need to get the charges to cancel out ( equal zero) so luckily this was easy because -1 +1 =0 ! So it would be LiBr. Though for another example Al has a charge of 3+ while br has a charge of -1 and these do not equal zero, so as a result you have to add more br making the Formula AlBr3! Hope this helps!

Based on the nebular theory of the solar system formation, explain how our solar system is formed.

Alika [10]

the nebular theory states that the solar systems developing rotations revolve around sun. it is located in the milky-way. revolving around the sun, with gravity pulling it, an interstellar cloud of dust and gas, is formed. (i.e. the nebula that we are speaking)

this formation is a protostar. the idea in the theory states that the nebula has flattened into a disk called the "protoplanetary disk"; and over time, the debreis eventually formed this disk. (i.e. creating the milky-way)

hopefully this helped, thank you!! :D
