Ethanol is heated with an excess of concentrated sulphuric acid at a temperature of 170Â°C. The gases produced are passed through sodium hydroxide solution to remove the carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide produced from side reactions.
When magma cools either above or underground, igneous rock is formed. What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks? Since Intrusive igneous rocks were formed underground, they had more time to release air and the size of the crystals is bigger. Extrusive rocks cool quickly so they don't have much time to compress together with all the crystals.
The size of crystals in an igneous rock is an important indicator of the conditions where the rock formed. An igneous rock with large crystals probably indicates that the rock formed deep within the Earth, since it is typically warmer deep inside the Earth than near the surface. These are called intrusive rocks, and they have a phaneritic texture (from the Greek phanerous meaning visible). Similarly, a rock with small crystals probably formed at or near the surface and cooled quickly.
