Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin is a two component system.
Explanation of Solution
Two component systems contain at least two different components in the system. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. It has two components present in it which are tin and copper. Both of them have definite properties and therefore they are independent from each other. Thus, the alloy of tin and copper is a two component system.

Luckily no one got hurt in the event but there is a concern that the sulfuric acid spill may affect local ground water supply. A sample of the ground water in that area was recovered to assess the extent of contamination of the ground water supply. In order to determine the concentration of sulfuric acid in the sample, 25.00 mL of the ground water sample was titrated with 0.133 M NaOH and you get the following data: Sodium hydroxide (initial buret reading) 0.66 mL Sodium hydroxide (final buret reading) 17.42 mL Calculate the molarity of sulfuric acid in the ground water sample.
