    Equivalent Weight
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the equivalent weight of tin, first determine the mass of oxygen that reacted with 10 g of tin, which produced 12.69 g of tin oxide. The equivalent weight is defined as the atomic weight that corresponds to the combining capacity with oxygen, typically set at 8 g for oxygen. By using proportions, one can find how much tin would react with 8 g of oxygen based on the initial reaction. The atomic weight of tin is 118.71 g, which is essential for these calculations. Ultimately, understanding these relationships allows for the accurate calculation of tin's equivalent weight.

Homework Statement


10.00 g of tin (Sn) is heated in air 12.69 g of the oxide is produced. Calculate the equivalent weight of the tin.

Homework Equations



Sn = 118.71

The Attempt at a Solution



Would you divide the mass of tin by 2 to get the equivalent weight of the tin?

The equivalent weight is the atomic weight of an element that has the same combining capacity as a given weight of another element; the standard is 8 g for oxygen.
 
Pretty good, now - can you calculate what mass of oxygen did 10 g of tin reacted with?

If so, do you know how to use proportions to calculate how much tin would react with 8 g of oxygen?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
