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.

What characteristic of a solid is most responsible for their structure?
jekas [21]

The characteristics of solids that is most responsible for their structure are:

1. BONDING PATTERNS BETWEEN ATOMS.

2. TYPES OF MATTER IN SOLIDS.

Solid state is one of the four states of matter that exist; the other three are liquid, gas and plasma. Solids generally have their constituent particles arranged in a regular pattern, which is known as crystalline structure. The crystalline structure of the solid is due to the types of matter and the chemical bonds that exist between the particles of solids. The constituent particles of a solid can be atoms, ions or molecules.

Consider the Fischer ester synthesis of methyl benzoate from benzoic acid and methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid as a cat
zlopas [31]

Answer:

48.8%

Explanation:

The reaction has a 1:1 mole ratio so;

Number of moles of benzoic acid reacted = mass/molar mass = 3.8 g/122.12 g/mol = 0.03 moles

So;

0.03 moles of methyl benzoate is formed in the reaction

Mass of methyl benzoate formed = 0.03 moles * 136.15 g/mol = 4.1 g

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100/1

percent yield = 2.0 g/4.1 g * 100 = 48.8%
