Both equation I and II are balanced, but equation II is the correct way to write the balanced equation. Why do you think this is

? (Hint: Think fractions.)
I) 2 SnO2 + 4 H2 → 2 Sn + 4 H2O
II) SnO2 + 2 H2 → Sn + 2 H2O

Answer:

Because you have to give the simplest ratio of equation. Equation I can be simplified by dividing all the coefficients by 2 to make it into equation II.

*Every equation has to be in the simplest form of coefficients.

Ratio of Equation I :

2 : 4 : 2 : 4

Ratio of Equation II :

1 : 2 : 1 : 2

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

First, place no. 5 in front of the CO2 in order to balance the carbon atoms. Next, place no. 6 in front of H2O to balance the hydrogen atoms. Lastly place no. 8 in front of the O2 so that there are 16 oxygen atoms on both sides of the reaction.

Question 2 The metal molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90K. Calculate the temperature at which molybden
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is-272.25°C

Explanation:

Conductor are those hard substances which allows path of electric current through them. And super conductors are those hard substances which have resistance against the flow of electric current through them.

As given, molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90 K.

Temperature in Kelvins can be converted in °C by relation:

T(°C)=273.15-T(K)

Molybdenum becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius.

T(°C)=273.15-0.90= -272.25 °C

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is -272.25 °C

What is produced by a neutralization reaction between an arrhenius acid and an arrhenius base?
stepladder [879]

Answer: Salt and Water

Explanation:

An Arrhenius acid (HCl) can best be defined as any substance that when added to water increases the concentration of H+ ions.

While an Arrhenius base (KOH) is any substance that when added to water increases the concentration of OH- ions.

When an Arrhenius acid such as HCl reacts with an Arrhenius base such as KOH, the end products will be salt and water, in a process called Neutralization Reaction.

HCl (aq) + KOH (aq)  -------> KCl (aq) + H2O (l)
