A sample of basalt has smaller crystals than a sample of granite. What is the most likely reason for this?

The most likely reason is that basalt is an extrusive rock, while granite is an intrusive rock. What this means is that basalt forms at the surface of the earth, where temperatures are cooler. Because of the cooler external temperature, basalt cools relatively quickly, and there isn't as much time for mineral crystals within the rock to align to form larger crystals while the rock is cooling. Granite, on the other hand, forms below the surface of the earth, where temperatures are significantly higher. Therefore, it doesn't cool as quickly, and the minerals within granite have more time to form larger crystals and the rock cools.

The volume of 0.05 M H2SO4 is needed to completely neutralise 15ml of 0.1 M NaOH solution is
Feliz [49]
V(NaOH)=15 mL =0.015 L
C(NaOH)=0.1 mol/L
C(H₂SO₄)=0.05 mol/L

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ = Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

n(NaOH)=V(NaOH)C(NaOH)=2n(H₂SO₄)
n(H₂SO₄)=V(H₂SO₄)C(H₂SO₄)

V(NaOH)C(NaOH)=2V(H₂SO₄)C(H₂SO₄)

V(H₂SO₄)=V(NaOH)C(NaOH)/{2C(H₂SO₄)}

V(H₂SO₄)=0.015*0.1/{2*0.05}=0.015 L = 15 mL

Bob is investigating whether the density of water changes with temperature. Which of the following variables should he change in
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

temperature of the water

Explanation:

Density is defied as mass divided by the volume. To investigate how the density of water change with temperature, Bob have the change the temperature and read the volume and mass of the investigated sample.

Even if there is a different salt content between booted water or tap water and have an influence on the density (compared with pure water), this difference is not so big so the change in density with temperature can be determined. Considering that the experiment do not require extreme accuracy,  any type of water may be used (bottled water of tap water).
