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.

What is the total pressure of a container in kpa if the partial pressures are 1.25 atm and 66.7 psi?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

586 kpa(kilopascal/1000 pascals)

Explanation:

given 1.24 atm(standard atmosphere), and 66.7 psi(pound force per square inch).

To find the total pressure we should use dalton's law of partial pressures which is the sum of the pressures of each individual gas.

then we convert them to pascals and divide by 1000 to get the measurement in kilopascal.

knowing that 1 atmosphere is proportional to around 14.696 psi. We can multiply our given measure of atm by that and sum it by psi like so. 1.24×14.6959 = 18.22298.

Then,

18.22298+ 66.7 = 84.92298

psi.

Since 1 psi is proportional to around 6894.76 pascals. 1 psi will be 68.9476 kilopascal. 84.92298 * 6.89476 = 585.523336 ≈ 586

Which statement accurately describes how electrical power and voltage are
neonofarm [45]

Answer: B

Explanation:

According to Ohm's Law, the answer is B.

Ohm's Law states that power is equal to volume x current.

If volume x current equals power, that means they are both 50% of power.

Ohm's Law:

power = voltage x current

current = voltage x power

voltage = power x current

I hope this answer helped.

In many of the steps in the lab, a mixture was centrifuged and then decanted. In general terms, what is accomplished by these st
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

to separate the compounds by gravity

Explanation:

Centrifuging is the process of separating compound in a liquid mixture by means of gravity and settling. This makes use of the density principle. In the process, the sample is added to the centrifuge. This is then rotated at a certain speed, say 50 rpm. The circular motion creates a force of gravity that pulls the compounds downwards. This then separate the compounds. The heaviest and most dense go down first, then the lighter particles on the top.

Silver acetate breaks into ions. How many ions would one single formula unit make if dissolved in water? a. 1b. 2c. 3 d. 4 e. no
slava [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is b) 2

Explanation:

When is dissolved in water, silver acetate (AgCH₃COO) is dissociated into ions according to the following equilibrium:

AgCH₃COO ⇄ Ag⁺ + CH₃COO⁻

Where Ag⁺ is a silver cation and CH₃COO⁻ is the acetate anion (an organic anion). As we can see, from one single formula unit are obtained 2 ions (1 cation and 1 anion).

Therefore, the correct option is b) - 2
