How do pumice and basalt form?

Chemistry
2 answers:
ozzi3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

"If magma with the same composition reaches the surface, it forms extrusive rocks such as rhyolite and pumice. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock that forms the ocean floor. ... Also, water and wind break apart and carry away surface rocks. Then deeper rocks are uncovered at the surface."

Answer:

Basalt forms when lava cools quickly at the surface. This quick cooling rate results in very small mineral grains. Pumice is formed when volcanoes erupt explosively. It comes from the same kind of magma which would form granite or rhyolite, that is, a magma that contains lots of silica (quartz). Magma with lots of silica is usually thick and sticky

For hydrogen, what is the wavelength of the photon emitted when an electron drops from a 4p orbital to a 2s orbital in a hydroge
Tresset [83]
In Bohr's atomic model, the electrons are orbiting outside in orbitals around the nucleus. The farther the electron is from the nucleus, the lower its energy level becomes. That is why when reactions occur, it is the valence electrons (outermost electrons) that gets involve in the bonding. The way you write an electronic configuration is how the energy levels decreases. The first is orbital 1s which is the highest energy level because it is nearest to the nucleus. Then, it is followed by 2s2p, and so on and so forth. The energy levels are represented by the numbers.

When electrons transfer from orbital to orbital, they may release (high to low) or absorb (low to high) energy in the form of light which can be measuredin wavelength. The formula to be used is Rydberg's formula:

1/λ = R(1/n₁² - 1/n₂²), where

λ is wavelength measured in meters
n₁ and n₂ are the energy levels such that n₂>n₁
R is the Rydberg constant equal to 1.097×10⁷ m⁻¹

1/λ =1.097×10⁷ m⁻¹ (1/2² - 1/4²)
λ = 4.86×10⁻⁷ or 4.86 pm

Nitrogen has two isotopes. One has an atomic mass of 14.003
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

d= 14.007 amu

Explanation:

Abundance of N¹⁴ = 99.63%

Abundance of N¹⁵ = 0.37%

Atomic mass of N¹⁴ = 14.003 amu

Atomic mass of N¹⁵ = 15.000 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass = (14.003 × 99.63)+(15.000× 0.37) /100

Average atomic mass =  1395.12 + 5.55 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 1400.67/ 100

Average atomic mass = 14.007 amu.
