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

Explain at least one observation you can make about the political borders and the language borders shown on the maps.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

A boundary is a real or imaginary line that separates two things. In geography, boundaries separate different regions of the Earth.The most obvious type of boundary is a physical boundary. A physical boundary is a naturally occurring barrier between two areas. Rivers, mountain ranges, oceans, and deserts can all serve as physical boundaries. Many times, political boundaries between countries or states form along physical boundaries. For example, the boundary between France and Spain follows the peaks of the Pyrenees Mountains, while the Alps separate France from Italy.

The Strait of Gibraltar is the boundary between southwestern Europe and northwestern Africa. This narrow waterway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea is an important political, economic, and social boundary between the continents.

Rivers are common boundaries between nations, states, and smaller political units such as counties. The Rio Grande forms a large part of the boundary between Mexico and the United States. The Mississippi Riveris the defining boundary between many of the states it winds through, including Iowa and Illinois, Arkansas and Tennessee, and Louisiana and Mississippi.

Benzene has a specific gravity of 0.88. if it was spilled in a river what would it do?
Gelneren [198K]
As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

A lead–tin alloy of composition 30 wt% Sn–70 wt% Pb is slowly heated from a temperature of 150°C (300°F).(a) At what temperature
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

a) 231.9 °C

b) 100% Sn

c) 327.5 °C

d) 100% Pb

Explanation:

This is a mixture of two solids with different fusion point:

Tf_{Pb}=327.5 C

Tf_{Sn}=231.9 C

<u>Given that Sn has a lower fusion temperature it will start to melt first at that temperature. </u>

So the first liquid phase forms at 231.9 °C and because Pb starts melting at a higher temperature, that phase's composition will be 100% Sn.

The mixture will be completely melted when you are a the higher melting temperature of all components (in this case Pb), so it will all in liquid phase at 327.5 °C.

At that temperature all Sn was already in liquid state and, therefore, the last solid's composition will be 100% Pb.
