Explain how the composition of magma affevt volcano eruptions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago
8 0

The kind of magma that is found in the most explosive volcanoes, the composite volcanoes, is andesitic magma. It is magma that is quite high in silica content which makes it thick, sticky and gooey. Great lumps of this sticky magma cool at the top of the volcano to form a sealed cap. Magma beneath the cap builds up and pressure mounts  and eventually becomes too much to be contained and the magma violently erupts out from the top, blowing out the cap and shooting miles up into the air and in all directions.

The kind of magma found in gentle volcanoes such as shield  volcanoes is runny in consistency. It has very minimal amounts of silica and is not thick but loose. It therefore tends to trickle out of the top of the volcano rather than erupt or explode.

Suppose three neutrons are released when an atom in a sample of fissionable nuclei undergoes fission. Each of these neutrons has
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

13 nuclei

Explanation:

From the question, the fission of one nucleus produces three neutrons which causes  more nuclei to undergo fission.

This implies that, after the first fission, three neutrons cause three nuclei to undergo fission. The three nuclei that underwent fission produces nine neutrons which causes the fission of nine nuclei.

All together we the number of nuclei that underwent fission as;

1 + 3 + 9 = 13 nuclei.

When different atoms join together, they are called a compound. Compounds are made of molecules (so molecules could be an alternate answer, but not all molecules are compounds)

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Filtration

Explanation:

Filtration is a physical separation technique that is used to separate solids from liquids or gases. The process involves the use of a filter which allows just the liquid to pass through.

In this case, the coffee beans is the solid and the boiling water is the liquid. The special piece of paper is the medium (filter) through which the coffee is collected.

The coffee coming through the special piece of paper (filter) is called a filtrate.

Filtration is used in the preparation of the cup of coffee.

White gold is an alloy that typically contains 45.0% by mass gold and the remainder is platinum. if 154 g of gold are available,
kvasek [131]
Percent by mass of platinum in white gold = 100% - 45% = 55%

We let x be the mass of the white which is 45% gold and 55% platinum. 

Mass of gold in white gold = m x 0.45

where m is the total mass.

From the given above, we formulate the equation that would allow us to determine the mass of white gold.
                            154 = x (0.45)
                                     x = 342.22 g

Then, we determine the amount of platinum.
                     mass of platinum = (342.22 g)(0.55)
                      mass of platinum = 188.22 grams

Thus, 188.22 grams of platinum is needed.
