Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Many organic compounds have low melting points. This is due to the fact that many of these compounds are non polar.
However, compound X is slightly polar but still has a melting point which is far less than that of sand composed of a high melting point inorganic material.
Since sand has a much higher melting point compared to compound X, the researcher need not be worried that sand was spilled into his beaker.
The answer is 'equal'. Hydroxide ions are OH- and Hydrogen ions are H+. Have you noticed they're opposite charges? Positive + negative = neutral. That's all there is to it :)
You would weigh the zinc with a weight, Zinc is a mineral so wether it's a solid or a liquid you would measure it with a zinc.
