The one that does not demonstrates the law of conservation of matter would be the third option: $2NO_2 + H_2O -- > HNO_3 + HNO_2$

<h3>What is law of conservation of matter? </h3>

It is a law that explains that matters are conserved during the course of chemical reactions. They can neither be destroyed nor created.

Thus, the number of moles of the species in a reaction remains the same before and after the reaction.

Thus, an equation that demonstrates the law of conservation of matter will be balanced in terms of the number of moles of species.

The only equation, in this case, is $2NO_2 + H_2O -- > HNO_3 + HNO_2$

There are 3 oxygen species on the reactant while 5 are present on the product side.

Which statement correctly describes a chemical equilibrium? it must take place in an open system the mass of the reactants and t

Svetllana [295]

In your choices, the best answer is the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products are no equal. The chemical equilibrium can take place in a close system and can not be affected by catalyst and is a reversible reaction. The best describe should be the concentration of reactants and products are constant.

Why does it take so much heat and pressure to create helium and other elements?

ehidna [41]

Answer:

To break down the nucleus of an atom

Explanation:

Remember to change from one element to another, is necessary to add protons, neutrons and electrons,in most of the cases.

The take an electron from an atom you need certain energy, but they are in the outside part of the atom so is not as much energy as the one is necessary to take one neutron or proton from the inside part of an atom.

In this way, is a must to have a combination of pressure and heat to destabilize an atom and take some of this subatomic particles.

Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el

Dovator [93]

Answer: 406 hours

Explanation:

$Q=I\times t$

where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs

I = current in amperes = 39.5 A

t= time in seconds = ?

The deposition of copper at cathode is represented by:

$Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

$96500\times 2=193000$ Coloumb of electricity deposits 1 mole of copper

i.e. 63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 Coloumb

Thus 19.0 kg or 19000 g of copper is deposited by = $\frac{193000}{63.5}\times 19000=57748032$ Coloumb

$57748032=39.5\times t$

$t=1461975sec=406hours$ (1hour=3600s)

Thus it will take 406 hours to plate 19.0 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 39.5 A

In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased, what happens to the temperature if pressure remains constant?

Flura [38]

The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

P1V1/ T1 = P2V2 / T2

Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2

P1V1/ T1 = P2V1 /2 T2

Cancelling terms,

1/T1 = 1/2 T2

T2 = T1/2

Thus, the temperature decreased.

When a cell is in a solution where the concentration of solute is the same in the cell as in the solution, the solution is calle

Elodia [21]

The answer to this question would be: isotonic

An isotonic solution has a same tonicity/concentration to the cell. This kind of solution will not cause osmosis to occur so it wouldn't shrink or swell the cells. This is why an isotonic solution is safer for the cells. The normal saline solution is isotonic to human cells and used frequently in medicine to replace body fluid.
