Volatile have an importance beyond that predicted simply by their abundance because:
- Volatiles have low molecular weights:
H2O = 18
CO2 = 44
SiO4 = 92
NaAlSi3O8 = 262
- Volatiles are mobile: They can move around as an immiscible fluid phase, entering new regions carrying trace elements and heat, metasomatising their surroundings, lowering melting points and inducing partial melting.
In a melt consisting of NaAlSi3O8 clusters and H2O molecules:
0.5 wt. % H20 ~ 45 mole % H2O
Small amounts of water produce large effects because ofits low molecular wt. compared to that of a silicate magma

H2O is an basic component that not only lowers the temperature of the liquidus and solidus of silicate melts, but also shifts the positions of cotectics, eutectics,
etc towards more acidic compositions, and expands the liquidus volumes of minerals rich in basic components with respect to those rich in acidic
components

Some evidence that water preferentially attacks Al-O-Si bridging oxygens, for example the cotectic shift with water pressure in petrogeny’s
residua system.

The Effect of Water
The solubility of water in silicate melts is strongly a function of pressure, and the concentration of dissolved water tends to be highest in felsic silicate melts because water behaves as an incompatible element during crystal fractionation, being concentrated in the residual liquid. The effectiveness of water in lowering the liquidus of silicate melts is a reflection of its low molecular weight and the fact that it appears to dissolve by dissociation into two OH- ions. For example, 6-7 wt.% water corresponds to approximately 50 mole % H2O and 66 mole %
OH.

Loss of Water:
Water-rich granitic magmas have difficulty reaching the surface because of the loss of dissolved water as pressure decreases, known as first boiling. This leads to solidification because of the consequent rise in the solidus temperature.
A rapid decrease in the solubility of water in granitic melts between 600-700oC can result in the exsolution of enormous volumes of water, known as second boiling. In some cases this leads to the explosive eruption of rhyolitic ash flow deposits (ignimbrites) from ruptured high-level granitic plutons. In other cases, the expulsion of water-rich volatiles may lead to the formation of hydrothermal ore deposits in the surrounding host rocks. By the same account, water-rich

Hhydrous Aanhydrous + water
G (P,T) = Go(P,T) + RTln(aH2O)(aA) = 0 (aH)
G (P,T) = Ho(1bar,T) - T So(1bar,T) + (P-1) V = 0
Stability of Hydrous Phases
At low pressures, V is positive, and the reaction has a positive slope: (dP/dT = S/V)
With increasing pressure, however, H2O compresses, the V of the reaction decreases, and the slope of the reaction increases and may even become negative because typically VA < VH.
If H and A are pure phases, but the fluid phase is diluted by another component such as CO2, then the maximum thermal stability of H is reduced by an amount given by:
Go(P,T) = - RTln (XH2O)

CO2 polymerizes silicate melts:

fCO2 ~ PCO2 α XCO2
At pressures below ~ 25 kbs, CO2 is dissolved in silicate melts at low levels as the neutral species CO2. At pressures above 25 kbs, however, the solubility of CO2 greatly increases with CO2 dissolved as the carbonate ion species CO3

CO2 – Saturated Mantle Solidus
At pressures below ~ 25 kbs the solubility of CO2 in silicate melts is low, and the CO2 saturated solidus of mantle peridotite is only slight depressed with respect to the dry solidus.
At pressures greater than 25 kbs mantle peridotite becomes carbonated in the presence of CO2 and its solidus is greatly depressed with the presence of carbonate-rich initial melt compositions.

FeO is a basic component:
Fe2O3 is a relatively acidic component:
KFeO2 = ([aO=]6×[aFe2+]4 × [fO2]) / (aFeO2-1)4
FeO Fe2+ + O= KFeO = ([aO=] × [aFe2+]) / [aFeO]
KFe2O3 = [aFeO2-]2 / ([aFe2O3] × [aO=])Fe2O3 + O= 2 × [FeO2]-1

Sulfur
The solubility of S in silicate melts is a function of:
• fO2,
• Fe content• temperature.
At low fO2, S acts as a basic component:
1/2S2 + O2- > 1/2O2 + S2-
At high fO2, S acts as a acid component:
1/2S2 + 3O2 + O2- > SO42-
S2- is the dominate speciesin most natural mafic magmas
SO42- is the dominate species
in most natural felsic magmas

S2- appears to be preferentially associated with Fe2+
in most natural mafic silicate magmas:
Mars
Earth
Martian basalts contain more than 4 times as much S as terrestrial basalts, in part because of their high Fe contents.
Falling temperature, increasing oxidation state and decreasing Fe content lead to saturation in sulfur.
Many terrestrial magmas are saturated in sulfur before they reach the surface and carry immiscible sulfide droplets that are dominantly FeS in composition, but carry most of the chalcophile trace elements, such as Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, etc.
