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

How many molecules are in 34.61 grams of sulfur dioxide?
SSSSS [86.1K]

This problem is providing us with the mass of sulfur dioxide and the molecules contained are required. At the end, the result turns out to be 3.252x10²³ molecules, according to:

<h3>Avogadro's number:</h3>

In chemistry, we use the Avogadro's number in order to successfully perform mole-mass-particles calculations. Defined as 6.022x10²³, it provides the number of atoms, molecules and ions in one mole of the substance.

In this case, in order to obtain the result, one first calculates the moles in 34.61 grams of sulfur dioxide and then utilize the Avogadro's number to obtain the number of molecules as shown below:

34.61gSO_2*\frac{1molSO_2}{64.1gSO_2}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molecules}{1molSO_2}  \\\\3.252x10^{23}molecules

When a substance is heated, what causes its properties to change?
hoa [83]

The molecules vibrate when the substance is heated, and the shape of the substance begins to form a different shape. For example: when you hear up metal it will melt becuase its molecules are changing and moving.
