Tin to Fluorine mass ratios:
1) For compound A:
38.5/12.3
= 3.13
2) For compound B:
56.5/36.2
= 1.56
The lowest whole number mass ratio is 2. It cannot be 1 because it is less than that required for compound B.

Answer: In compound A, the mass ratio of Tin to Fluorine is 1 : 2

In compound B, the mass ratio of Tin to Fluorine is 1 : 4

Explanation: For the reaction of Tin and Fluorine, the reaction follows:

Sn+F_2\rightarrow A+B

To calculate the mass ratio, we simply find the mole ratio and for that we need to find the moles of Tin and fluorine respectively for each compound and then divide it by the lowest number of moles.

Molar mass Tin = 118.71g/mol

Molar mass Fluorine = 19g/mol

Formula to calculate the moles is:

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

For Compound A:

  • Given mass of Tin = 38.5 g

Moles of Tin = \frac{38.5g}{118.71g/mol}=0.324mol

  • Given mass of Fluorine = 12.3 g

Moles of Fluorine = \frac{12.3g}{19g/mol}=0.647mol

Mole ratio of Tin is = \frac{0.324}{0.324}=1

Mole ratio of Fluorine = \frac{0.647}{0.324}=1.99\approx 2

Mass ratio of Tin and fluorine is 1 : 2. The compound formed is SnF_2

For Compound B:

  • Given mass of Tin = 56.5 g

Moles of Tin = \frac{56.5g}{118.71g/mol}=0.475mol

  • Given mass of Fluorine = 36.2 g

Moles of Fluorine = \frac{36.2g}{19g/mol}=1.905mol

Mole ratio of Tin is = \frac{0.475}{0.475}=1

Mole ratio of Fluorine = \frac{1.905}{0.475}=4.01\approx 4

Mass ratio of Tin and fluorine is 1 : 24 The compound formed is SnF_4

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction ;

Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)

<h3> The supplements that are minerals are</h3>
  1. calcium
  2. sodium
  3. iron
  4. zinc

<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

  • calcium   and sodium  are major  minerals   which are required  by the body for

      calcium-  needed  for muscle,hearing bone and  for the support of synthesis and function of cells

     sodium-   is needed to control blood  pressure  and  also for proper  muscle and nerve  function

  • Zinc  and iron are  required   in trace and both are needed for good health

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is always:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.

Explanation:

Boyle's law  states that at constant temperature and number of moles, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.

Thus, P ∝ T

P is the pressure

T is the temperature

For two gases at same temperature, the law can be written as:-

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

<u>Thus, according to the question, the answer is:- d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.</u>
