Why Basalt and gabbro are denser than granite and obsidian?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

What do you think causes some rock types to have higher densities than others? (Assuming there are no air pockets in the rock, the types of minerals will determine the density. Granite contains lots of quartz and feldspar - both fairly light minerals, whereas basalt and gabbro are made of heavier minerals.)

A sample of gas at 310 Kelvin and 1.2 atmospheres has a density of 2.78 g/L. What is the molar mass of this gas?
Troyanec [42]
Ideal gas law PV = nRT    or  PM = dRt ( M is molecular mass of gas ) and d is gas density 
where m/ M    ( m is mass of gas sample ) 

m = dRT / P  ( 2.78 g/L )   ( 0.082 L atm/ K mole )( 310K )  /  1.2 atm  =
58.9 g/mol

gas must be butane ( C4H10) has molecular mass = 58.9 g/mol

If an acid has a ka=1.6x10^-10, what is the acidity of the solution?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The information given in the question is not enough to determine the acidity of the solution. This is because, acidity can only be found with the equation: pH = -log [H+].
 In order to determine the acidity of the solution, the half titration point value is needed, this will make it possible to determine the value of H30+.  If the half point titration value is known, then Ka will be equivalent to pH and the value will be evaluated using the equation: - log (1.6 * 10^-10).
