Gabbro rock is in the same family as Basalt rock and there for has similar chemical composition. Basalt is nearly half composed of silica and has other minerals in much smaller percentages such as titanium dioxide, iron oxide, aluminum and magnesium.

What are examples of igneous rocks and its chemical formula?
Exapmples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, gabbro, rhyolite, pumice, and andesite. Since rocks are mictures, they do not have chemical formulas.
Why would basalt and gabbro generally have higher chemical weathering rates than rhyolite and granite?
The ferromagnesian minerals in the gabbro and basalt are subject to oxidation and chemical breakdown.
Which igneous rock has the same chemical composition as basalt but a different grain size?
a hot dogs mother in laws mother to the horse in the backyard
Do Granite and Gabbro have the same chemical composition?
No. Gabbro is a mafic rock (magnesium and iron silicates) while granite is a felsic rock (referring to lighter elements such as potassium in feldspar). Felsic rock contains fewer heavy elements than mafic rocks. The chemical equivalent to gabbro is basalt, as both are mainly pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar. The difference is that gabbro is intrusive rock and basalt is extrusive.
Clay minerals formed from gabbro or diorite bedrock illustrate what kind of weathering?
Chemical Weathering.
