Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that the molecules of hydrogen gas () react with molecules of oxygen gas (
) in a sealed reaction chamber to produce water (
).
The governing equation for the reaction is
From the given, the only fact that can be observed that 2 moles of and 1 mole of
reacts to produce 2 moles of
.
As the mass of 1 mole of grams ... (i)
The mass of 1 mole of grams ...(ii)
The mass of 1 mole of grams (iii)
Now, the mass of the reactant = Mass of 2 moles of + mass 1 mole of
[ using equations (i) and (ii)]
grams.
Mass of the product = Mass of 2 moles of
[ using equations (iii)]
=36 grams
As the mass of reactants = mass of the product.
So, mass is conserved.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
