Lemma 10.41.10. Let $k$ be a field. Let $R$ and $S$ be $k$-algebras. The map $\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S \otimes _ k R) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R)$ is open.

Proof. Let $f \in S \otimes _ k R$. It suffices to prove that the image of the standard open $D(f)$ is open. Let $S' \subset S$ be a finite type $k$-subalgebra such that $f \in S' \otimes _ k R$. The map $R \to S' \otimes _ k R$ is flat and of finite presentation, hence the image $U$ of $\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}((S' \otimes _ k R)_ f) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R)$ is open by Proposition 10.41.8. By Lemma 10.41.9 this is also the image of $D(f)$ and we win. $\square$
