Which of the following is true regarding the law of conservation of mass

Chemistry

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 reason behind that the melting and boiling point of iron is more than that of sodium?​
sweet [91]

Answer:

As metals are giant lattice structures, the number of electrostatic forces to be broken is extremely large, and so metals have high melting and boiling points. This means that the melting point and boiling point of metals are more similar to those for ionic compounds than for covalent substances.

Calculate the number of moles equivalent to 12.7 gram of iodine molecule ​
Alexus [3.1K]

\LARGE{ \boxed{ \purple{ \rm{Answer}}}}

☃️ Chemical formulae ➝ \sf{I_2}

How to find?

For solving this question, We need to know how to find moles of solution or any substance if a certain weight is given.

\boxed{ \sf{No. \: of \: moles =  \frac{Given \: weight}{Molecular \: weight} }}

Solution:

❍ Molecular weight of \sf{I_2}

= 2 × 126.90

= 253.80

= 254 (approx.)

❍ Given weight: 12.7

Then, no. of moles,

⇛ No. of moles = 12.7 / 254

⇛ No. of moles = 0.05 moles

⚘ No. of moles of Iodine molecule in the given weight = <u>0.05</u><u> </u><u>moles </u>

Which of the following gases effuses the fastest at a given temperature?
Sholpan [36]

Answer: -

H₂ will diffuse the fastest.

Explanation: -

According to Graham's Law of Diffusion

The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of it's density or molar mass. So the lower the molar mass faster the rate of diffusion.

Molar mass of Ne = 20 g / mol

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 x 1 + 1 x 4 = 16 g /mol

Molar mass of Ar = 40g / mol

Molar mass of H₂ = 1 x 2 = 2 g / mol

Thus H₂ will diffuse the fastest.

How did the color of the foxes’ environment change? Explain what happened to the foxes over many generations.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

1. With the aid of natural hues, the fox can change its color based on the environment it found itself in. For example, during summer and spring, fox color changes to dark to provide itself cover in the environment that is characterized by the brown dirt. Similarly, the fox color changes to white during winter and fall to blend with the snow.

2. In a bid to domesticate fox, it has been observed over many generations that the domesticated fox compared to wild fox has floppy ears and curly tails. The stress hormone level has reduced significantly and they possess a smaller adrenal gland.
