Chemical formula for magma

Answer 1

Different types of lava have different chemical compositions. Since not all rocks have the same chemical composition and lava is just liquid rock, it does not have an official formula. Most rocks (and therefore lava) are made up of a combination of the elements Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium. Different types of rocks (and lava) have different amounts of these elements. Therefore, there is not a specific chemical formula for lava.

Answer 2

what about co2 ... well. what i think is,, fire is a mixture.. like air but the formula of air is o2... then why don't we have the formula of fire...

There is no formula for fire, rather it's something that is made from light, heat, and constant release of O2 gas. People tend to say that it's combustion reaction that produces it. . (ex. smoke bombs)

There is no formula for fire. It is our perception of the mixture of photons, heat, and insignificant subatomic particles. Remember that fire is plasma: it is intangible and therefore cannot have a definite chemical formula. A chemical formula involves atoms, but if you cant touch it, it cant have atoms, but rather subatomic particles.

It isn't just the O2 that fuels it. There is another source. There needs to be O2 (CO2 is always a result) and a fuel, which is in many cases organic. This is were the Carbon comes from. In the process, electrons may be lost or replaced, and this is what we feel as heat. Subatomic particles such as photons are always released, and most can't be perceived other than light.

Answer 3

Well, on the top of my head i can not give you a specific answer but magma is malten rock, it goes through (i think) a physical change as it is melted in the earths crust and once it cools, it returns to a some-what similar form. I would think from this that the formula of magma is the same as the chemical formula for rock. Just look it up, I'm sure you'll find the answer. (sorry for not being specific, it's just an educated guess...)

Answer 4

Basalt is a mixture of multiple substances and so does not have a chemical formula.

Answer 5

Lava is not a single chemical; it is molten stone, and there are many different kinds of chemicals, each with their own formula, which can be present in lava.

Answer 6

There are thousands of different types of rocks...What type of rocks in particular?

Answer 7

it is mostly sulphur. . .

Answer 8

C2-H12-Fe18
