Title: Why will an iron-rich olivine have a higher density than a magnesium-rich olivin Post by: barry on Aug 31, 2013 Why will an iron-rich olivine have a higher density than a magnesium-rich olivine?
A) More magnesium is needed to equal the same atomic charge as iron B) Iron-rich olivine has smaller crystals, so more of them will fit into the same area C) Magnesium-rich olivine has more silicon, which is less dense D) Iron has a greater atomic mass than magnesium and therefore is heavier Title: Re: Why will an iron-rich olivine have a higher density than a magnesium-rich olivin Post by: savio on Sep 1, 2013 Content hidden
