The hotter water is less dense and rises. The cooler water then sinks because it is more dense.

Answer:

Hotter water is less dense than cooler water.

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of water (we are not talking about ice and water as the density of water increases from 273.15K to 277.15 K, and then start decreasing) its density decreases due to more inter-molecular spaces between the molecules. With increase in temperature the kinetic energy of molecules increases which increases space and thus density decreases (volume increases).

Thus hotter water is less dense and rise up while cooler water is more dense and sinks down.

Vanadium (II) oxide with Iron (III) oxide results in Vanadium (V) oxide and Iron (II) oxide. Balance this equation
evablogger [386]

Answer:

2VO + 3Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + 6FeO

Explanation:

The skeletal equation for the reaction is given below below:

VO + Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + FeO

We can balance the equation above by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of V on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of VO as shown below:

2VO + Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + FeO

Now, we have a total of 5 atoms of O on the left and 6 atoms on the right side. We can balance it by putting 3 in front of Fe2O3 and 6 in front of FeO as shown below:

2VO + 3Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + 6FeO

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced
