Concept explainers
Interpretation:
We know that intrusive igneous rock has cooled slowly from magma. Rhyolite has cooled very quickly. The intrusive rock has cooled slowly, at depth, where the overlying rocks have an insulating effect, but the extrusive rock has cooled quickly on the surface you know that granite is more crystalline than Rhyolite, it becomes clear that rate of cooling has a direct effect on the physical appearance of the rock.
Concept introduction:
Rate of cooling effect the amount of crystallisation. Slow cooling gives larger size of crystal but fast cooling gives smaller size of crystal. And very fast cooling gives amorphous solid.
To determine: the difference between that is cooled slowly and that is cooled quickly

- Boron nitride (BN) exists in two forms. The first is a slippery solid formed from the reaction of BCl3 with NH3, followed by heating in an ammonia atmosphere at 750C. Subjecting the first form of BN to a pressure of 85,000 atm at 1800C produces a second form that is the second hardest substance known. Both forms of BN remain solids to 3000C. Suggest structures for the two forms of BN.arrow_forwardCalculate the mass fractions of phases present in an alloy of lead tin with 35% Sn and 65%Pb and at 184° C?arrow_forwardWhat are Non=Oxide-Ceramic?
