Pumice and tuff are the product of violent eruptions. Rhyolite is often, but not always produced by violent eruptions, but it can also form from slow, extrusive eruptions.
Rhyolite is a volcanic rock formed when highly viscous magma rich in silica erupts. In many cases rhyolite comes in the form of tuff, formed when the material is blasted out explosively, forming ash and pumice which eventually settle to the ground. Sometimes this tuff is so hot it gets welded into a solid rock. In other cases it erupts as lava. This lava will either form extremely thick lava flows or pile up on the vent as a lava dome.
The rock on Mount Snowdon is predominantly volcanic in origin, consisting of rhyolite and tuff formations that were formed during a period of intense volcanic activity around 450 million years ago.

There are far beyond 5 igneous rocks. Among them, there is: Pumice Obsidian Andesite Basalt Diorite Gabbro Granite Pegmatite Peridotite Rhyolite Scoria Tuff Porphyry Anorthosite Vesicular Dunite
yes
No. Rhyolite is a mixture.
