Temperature and silica content determine the _______ of magma.

1 answer:

7 0

<span>I think the correct answer is that they can determine the viscosity of the magma. The viscosity of a magma is largely controlled by the temperature, composition and the gas content. Also, silica content can define a magma type. It is said that higher silica content magma has a higher viscosity than those with lower silica content.</span>

If 45.0 mL of ethanol (density =0.789g/mol) initially at 6.0°C mix with 45.0 mL of water (density =1.0 g/mol) initially at 28.0°

The final temperature of the mixture : 21.1° C

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The law of conservation of energy can be applied to heat changes, i.e. the heat received / absorbed is the same as the heat released

Q in(gained) = Q out(lost)

Heat can be calculated using the formula:

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat, J

m = mass, g

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K

Q ethanol=Q water

mass ethanol=

$\tt mass=\rho\times V\\\\mass=0.789\times 45=35.505~g$

mass water =

$\tt mass=1~g/ml\times 45~ml=45~g$

then the heat transfer :

$\tt 35.505\times 2.42~J/g^oC\times (t-6)=45\times 4.18~J/g^oC\times (28-t)\\\\85.922t-515.533=5266.8-188.1t\\\\274.022t=5782.33\rightarrow t=21.1^oC$
