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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Luda [366]3 years ago
3 0
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.

Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO_3)
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction always make two compounds from one.

The products always have simpler chemical structure, originated from a determined compound. This can happens  spontaneously or by a third party.

A notable example of decomposition is hydrolysis. As for example the case of water, which decomposes and generates oxygen and hydrogen gas

2H₂O (l) → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)

In this case, the calium carbonate decomposes into CaO and CO₂

These two, are the products of the decomposition.

Of course, the unique reactant is the Calcium Carbonate

The balanced equation is:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
