Any carbon molecule except CO, CO2, carbonates, cyanides (CN), cyanates, carbides, and thyocyanates (by tradition) are organic. Any hydrocarbons that might seep into a rock, such as methane (CH4), or longer carbon chains would mean the rock included organic material.
Fossils in sedimentary rock would begin as organic material, obviously. Most of the surface rock is of sedimentary origin, though most rock altogether is igneous. Igneous rocks should contain the least amount of organic material--I would guess.
No, lava rock is primarily composed of basaltic minerals like pyroxene and olivine, which do not contain calcite. Calcite is a form of calcium carbonate, a mineral not typically found in volcanic rocks like lava rock.
Lava is a molten rock from a volcano, and is rock.
Lava is primarily made up of molten rock, which is a mixture of silicate minerals, volcanic gases (such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide), and solid volcanic materials like crystals and rock fragments. When lava comes into contact with water, it can create hydrochloric acid due to the reaction between the volcanic gases and the water.
A slab of volcanic rock is called a "lava flow" or a "lava rock".
Lava is molten rock, so it is not wet in the traditional sense as it does not contain water. However, when lava comes into contact with water or other liquids, it can cause explosive steam eruptions due to the extreme heat.
Lava is mainly composed of molten rock material, such as silicate minerals, and does not typically contain carbon dioxide. However, some volcanoes can release carbon dioxide during eruptions along with other gases like sulfur dioxide and water vapor.

No, rock does not usually contain carbon in the first place so no Carbon-14 will be present.

Lava does not burn rock because rock is not flammable.

carbon dating
Lava is molten rock on earth's surface.
Geologists cannot use the carbon-14 method to date igneous rock because carbon-14 dating is effective only for organic materials, such as wood or bone, that contain carbon. Igneous rocks, formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, do not contain organic carbon and therefore do not incorporate carbon-14 during their formation. Instead, geologists typically use radiometric dating methods involving isotopes of elements like uranium or potassium, which are suitable for dating the age of igneous rocks.
Lava hardens, and the lava is turned into obsidian, or ignoeus rock.
