What are the chemical properties of granite?
Granite is composed of mostly silica, as well as quartz, feldspar, kriolite, chlorite, and garnet. It also contains alkalies and dialuminum trioxide components.
What properties does granite have that make useful?
Granite is the most durable natural material that is available in substantial quantity. It is more resistant to deterioration from weather and from chemicals than any other plentiful material. Those huge towers supporting the Brooklyn Bridge? Granite. Cobblestones? Granite.
What properties does granite have?
The density of granite is between 2,65 g/cm3 and 2,75 g/cm3; the melting point is in the range1 215-1 260 oC. Granite is formed from SiO2, AlO3, K2O, Na2O, CaO, etc. Because granite contain uranium and thorium in traces has a natural radioactivity.

What is the characteristics of granite?
Granite is coarse grained, has a uniformly dispersed crystalline structure, has a specific gravity of 2.6-2.7, is composed of varying amounts of various feldspars, quartz, micas, and other minerals, even small amounts of uranium. Granite is hard, tough, and resistant to fracture because of the interlocking structure of the minerals within. Granite's colors are varied; pinks, reds, and gray are most common. Its porosity is negligible, between 0.3 to 4%. It's weather resistant, heat resistant and even chemical resistant.
