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.

If 45.6 grams of water decompose at 301 Kelvin and 1.24 atmospheres, how many liters of oxygen gas can be produced? Show all of
Artyom0805 [142]

This reaction is called the electrolysis of water. The balanced reaction is:

 2H2O = 2H2 + O2

<span>
We are given the amount of water for the electrolysis reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculation.

45.6 grams H2O (1 mol H2O / 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O) = 1.27 mol O2

V = nRT/P = </span><span>1.27 mol O2 (0.08206 atm L / mol K) (301 K) / 1.24 atm
V = 25.20 L O2</span>

12345 [234]

Answer:

5.52atm

Explanation:

Using the pressure law formula:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the question, the following information were provided;

P1 = 4.72 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = -3.50°C = -3.50 + 273 = 269.5K

T2 = 42°C = 42 + 273 = 315K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

4.72/269.5 = P2/315

CROSS MULTIPLY

4.72 × 315 = 269.5 × P2

1,486.8 = 269.5P2

P2 = 1,486.8 ÷ 269.5

P2 = 5.52atm

Summarize the relationship between volume, temperature and pressure (use words like “inversely
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

P and V: inversely proportional

P and T: directly proportional

V and T: inversely proportional

Explanation:

For pressure and volume, as the volume goes up, meaning the container gets bigger, the pressure would go down. There would be more room in the container, so there would be less collisions between the molecules themselves and between the molecules and the container. This makes them inversely proportional.

For pressure and temperature, as the pressure goes up, there are more collisions, so the particles move faster. Temperature is the speed of the particles, so, since both pressure and temperature would go up at the same time, they are directly proportional.

For volume and temperature, this is similar to the PV relationship. As volume increases, there are less collisions between the particles. This means that the particles are going to move slower. Therefore, as volume goes up, temperature goes down, so they are inversely proportional.

Sorry this is super long, but I hope it fully explains the question for you! ☺

What type of substance is gravel
allsm [11]

Answer:

When substances do not mix thoroughly and evenly (like sand and gravel), the mixture is said to be heterogeneous. A heterogeneous mixture consists of visibly different substances. Another example of a mixture is salt dissolved in water.

Hope it helps!
