Answer:

Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.

Explanation:

Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.

state the conditions under which copper reacts with sulphuric (vi) acid and give an equation for the reaction

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

When the metal reacts with hot, concentrated sulphuric acid, the products of the reaction are copper (II) sulphate, sulphur dioxide and water. Cu + 2H2SO4 = CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O. This is a typical redox reaction in which the acid is reduced to SO2, but no hydrogen is produced here

which of the following is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with nitrogen gas to form magnesium nitride

ioda

So the unbalanced equation would be Mg + N^2 --> Mg^3N^2

Which means the balanced equation would be 3Mg + N^2 --> Mg^3N^2

This is balance the equation out since you now has 3 magnesium and 2 nitrogen on the left side, and 3 magnesium on 2 nitrogen on the right. Double check my work though, it's been awhile.
