    The value changes, for example for water in rhyolite n = 0.4111 P and for the carbon dioxide n = 0.0023 P. These simple equations work if there is only one volatile in a magma. However, in reality, the situation is not so simple because there are often multiple volatiles in a magma. It is a complex chemical interaction between different ...

    These emitted volatiles were measured by GC-MS and the most notable were 2-hexenal and 3-hexenal acetate. It was found that depolarization increased with increasing green leaf volatile concentrations. These results indicate that tomato plants communicate with one another via airborne volatile cues, and when these VOC's are perceived by receptor ...

  4. Goldschmidt classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldschmidt_classification

    The Goldschmidt classification, [1] [2] developed by Victor Goldschmidt (1888–1947), is a geochemical classification which groups the chemical elements within the Earth according to their preferred host phases into lithophile (rock-loving), siderophile (iron-loving), chalcophile (sulfide ore-loving or chalcogen-loving), and atmophile (gas-loving) or volatile (the element, or a compound in ...

    Science, technology, society and environment (STSE) education, originates from the science technology and society (STS) movement in science education. This is an outlook on science education that emphasizes the teaching of scientific and technological developments in their cultural, economic, social and political contexts.

  7. Volatile organic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_organic_compound

    Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic compounds that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature. [1] They are common and exist in a variety of settings and products, not limited to house mold , upholstered furniture , arts and crafts supplies, dry cleaned clothing, and cleaning supplies . [ 2 ]

  8. Partial melting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_melting

    Partial melting is the phenomenon that occurs when a rock is subjected to temperatures high enough to cause certain minerals to melt, but not all of them. Partial melting is an important part of the formation of all igneous rocks and some metamorphic rocks (e.g., migmatites), as evidenced by a multitude of geochemical, geophysical and petrological studies.

  9. Chemistry: A Volatile History - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry:_A_Volatile_History

    The periodic table does not however tell us why some elements are highly reactive, others completely inert, why some are volatile, whilst others less so. It wasn't until the beginning of the 20th century that an entirely different branch of science began to unravel the answers to these questions.
