What igneous compositions has the lowest silica content mafic ultra mafic intermediate or felsic?

Mafic igneous compositions have the lowest silica content, followed by ultramafic compositions. Mafic rocks are rich in magnesium and iron and have silica contents ranging from 45-52%. Ultramafic rocks have even lower silica content, typically below 45%.


Is mgso4 ok to drink?

No, drinking magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is not recommended. It is commonly used as a laxative or to treat magnesium deficiency under medical supervision, as ingesting large amounts can lead to serious side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and even toxicity. Always consult with a healthcare professional before consuming magnesium sulfate.


How flammable is magnesium?

Magnesium is highly flammable and burns at very high temperatures, producing a bright white light. It can react with oxygen in the air and ignite spontaneously. Proper precautions should be taken when handling magnesium to prevent fire hazards.


If magma has high silica what will a volcano probably do?

high silica eruptions are generally explosive, giving rise to large abbounts of dust and may even result in pyroclastic flows. This happens because high silica melts are more viscous (thick) than low silica melts. If you see a nice river or fountain of lava, you can bet that it is relatively low in silica, probably a basalt.


Why is magnesium iodide more covalent than magnesium chloride?

Magnesium iodide is more covalent than magnesium chloride because iodine is a larger atom with more electron-electron repulsion between its electrons, making it easier for iodine to share electrons with magnesium in a covalent bond. This results in a more even sharing of electrons between magnesium and iodine, leading to a more covalent character in magnesium iodide compared to magnesium chloride.

What are the elements present on the earth surfaces?

Even though there are 92 elements that are naturally found, only eight of them are common in the rocks that make up the Earth's outer layer. These include oxygen, silica, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

How much silica does a composite volcano have?

The silica content will vary from one volcano to the next and will even vary over time for a single volcano. On average, though, composite volcanoes erupt intermediate rocks that are 52-63% silica.


Why does nitrogen burn magnesium?

Nitrogen does not burn magnesium. In order for magnesium to burn, it requires oxygen as the oxidizing agent. When magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air, it produces magnesium oxide and releases a considerable amount of heat and light.

Is Magnesium carbonate organic?

No, carbonates are not organic even though they contain carbon.


How is Silicon extracted from Sand?

ndustrially, silica is converted to pure silicon by heating it with coke (the form of coal, not the drink) in a furnace. But there's an even easier, if less cost-effective, method that I learned from Jason Stainer, a science teacher in England. All you have to do is heat a mixture of common silica sand and magnesium powder in a test tube. The magnesium steals the oxygen atoms from the silica, leaving elemental silicon. No reaction is perfect, and in this case you're left with a mixture of magnesium, magnesium oxide, magnesium silicide and silicon in the bottom of the test tube. Fortunately, the best way to purify it is also the most entertaining. I told my eight-year-old Harry Potter fan that I had prepared a fire potion. First pour one cup of what is sold in any hardware store as muriatic acid (37% HCl) into five cups of water. (Not the other way around. The old chemist's saying "Do as you oughta, add acid to watta" is there to protect you from steam explosions that can occur if water is poured into acid instead of acid into water.) Then dump in the contents of the test tube, and you'll get a wonderful frothing mass of flaming bubbles and a lovely mushroom cloud of smoke. This is one of the best can't-fail fire potions. (


What is a weird fact about magnesium?

Pouring water on conflagrated magnesium only accelerates the fire and may even cause an explosion (really just a rise in flame).
