These are the answer options of this question and the comments about their validity:

<span>A) It dictates that the number of molecules on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.

False: the number of molecules can change. Take this simple reaction for example:

2H2(g) +  O2 -> 2H2O

You start with 3 molecules, 2 molecules of H2 and 1 molecule of O2, and end with 2 molecules of water. Then the number of molecules of each side is different.



B) It dictates that the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of a chemical equation.

TRUE: in a chemical reaction the atoms remain being the same at start and at the end of the process. Given that each atom has a characteristic mass, their conservation implies the law of conservation mass.


C) It states that the mass of the reactants must remain constant in order for a chemical reaction to proceed.

FALSE. The mass of the reactants changes during a chemical reaction, while they transform into the products.

D) It does not apply to chemical reactions.

FALSE: It is an important law used in the calculus related with chemical reactions.

KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

Carbon-12 atoms have stable nuclei because of the 1:1 ratio of protons and neutrons.

Carbon-14 atoms have nuclei which are unstable. C-14 atoms will undergo alpha decay and produce atoms of N-14. Carbon-14 dating can be used to determine the age of artifacts which are not more than 50,000 years old.

Why is the composition of the vapor different from the composition of the solution?
BaLLatris [955]
If there is solution with nonvolatile solute (<span>substance that does not readily </span>evaporate<span> into a </span>gas) <span>only the pure vapor of the solvent is present above the solution and solute stays in solution and do not enters vapor above solution. This is because nonvolatile solute has slow rate of evaporation and low vapore pressure.
If solution has two volatile components, composition of the vapor depends on vapor pressures of the components according </span><span>Raoult's Law.</span>
