1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.

The number of moles in 2.93 g of Li2O in corrext sig figs​
jekas [21]

Answer:

0.1 mol

Explanation:

Number of mole= mass/molar mass

lithium have a mass number of 7 and oxygen have a mass number of 16.

so, (7x2) + 16

= 30

therefore, number of moles = 2.93/30

= 0.10

Question #1: Identify the type of Mutation below
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Deletion

Explanation:

A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence. This means that the original sequence of bases in the DNA has been altered permanently.

There are three types of DNA mutations;  base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

In the particular case of this question, the original is TTCGATA while the copy is TTGATA. If you look closely at the two, you will notice that the C has been omitted. This is an example of  deletion.
