Give an example of each (1 pt). Extensive Mass, volume, Intensive Density, Temperature, Pressure, Element ratios 18) The diagrams to the right shows the Gibbs free energy curves against T and P. Considering the Gibbs free energy equation - dg = VdP SdT, (2 pts) a. Why does the G of the solid and liquid decrease with increasing temperature? Since dg/dt= -S, the slopes will be negative. b.

Why does the G of the solid and liquid increase with increasing pressure? dg/dp= V, the slopes will be positive d. Why does G liquid increase at a faster rate than G solid with increasing P? A liquid is more compressible than a solid, so V changes more in a liquid with changes in P 19) Indicate if the statements about the crystallization behavior of magmas are true or (3 pts): T F Cooling melts crystallize from a liquid to a solid at one temperature when P is constant T F The number of mineral phases crystallizing from a melt commonly increases as T decreases T F The minerals that form from a cooling melt do so sequentially, generally with considerable overlap T F Minerals that involve solid solution will not change composition as cooling progresses T F The melt composition typically changes during crystallization T F The type and sequence of minerals that crystallize from a melt depend on T and X (composition) of the melt (some may add P and thus say this is false)
