What is devolatilization reactions?
This is a reaction of an equation of the form: hydrous material A = Anhydrous material B + water (H2O) Pretty much its when you have a certain material, such as in a metamorphic process, where the volatile material is separated from the rest of the material
Is propane found in plants?

Is lava volatile?
No. There may be small amounts of volatile material in lava but it is mostly composed of refractory elements.
What is mean by volatile fluid?
What does Volatile mean: A volatile liquid evaporates faster because of it's low boiling point.
What are non volatile impurities?
Non-volatile impurities are substances inside of a liquid gas are solid which are different from the chemical composition of the material in which it is contained, and also does not readily evaporate into gas under existing conditions. Whether or not a material is seen as an impurity is relative to the material in which it resides.
What mean of volatile fuel?
Combustible.
What is something made up of frozen volatile materials?
Dry Ice (frozen Carbon Dioxide) is an example of a frozen volatile material. Water ice is also considered a frozen volatile material which simply means a substance can evaporate at normal temperatures and pressures. NASA found examples of such materials in Mercury's polar caps. Comets also contain frozen volatile materials.

What does it mean to heat a sample to constant weight?
If a partially solid sample that also contains some volatile material is heated, the weight of the sample will decrease because some of the volatile material will be driven into the atmosphere and will not return to the sample is cooled again. If the weight of the sample is recorded after each interval of heating and cooling, eventually the sample will reach a weight that no longer changes upon further heating, indicating that all of the volatile material in the sample has been driven off. This is called heating the sample to constant weight and is often used when analyzing moist solids such as soil or biological materials, water being the volatile material in these instances.
