Statement that when two elements combine with each other to from more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
The answer lies in the stoichiometry of the reaction. If u look at the number BEFORE the reagent u will see the ratios of the reagents.
This happens because ice is made up of water, and when that water freezes, it never goes back to land, thus there being less water on the coastline. But when the ice starts to melt, the water will even out quickly, and the water will go to the coastline, causing the tide to rise. Mark brainliest, please.
