Dalton's atomic theory was based on the law of conservation of mass which states that the matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only transformed into one form or another. In a chemical reaction, total mass of the reactants will be equal to the total mass of the products.

Taking an example,

methane+oxygen\rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide}+water

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Mass of CH_4 = 16g

Mass of 2O_2 = 2\times 32g

Total mass on reactant side = (16+2\times 32)

Total mass on reactant side = 80g

Mass of CO_2 = 44g

Mass of 2H_2O=2\times 18g

Total mass on product side = (44+2\times 18)

Total mass on product side = 80g

It is seen from the above example that the

total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side.

What property of liquid oxygen makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home?
irga5000 [103]
The property of liquid oxygen that makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home would be its cryogenic temperature. Liquid oxygen is being produced from the compression of oxygen gas to -196 degrees Celsius. As you can see, it has a very cold temperature that is why it used in cryogenics. Although liquid oxygen is non-toxic to humans, it would cause burns that are severe when being touched. Also, it would make certain materials brittle and unstable. Another property that makes it dangerous for use at home would be that it is very flammable. Proper handling is a must for this substance.

PLEASE HELP!! (I will mark brainiest) (REAL ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!)
Inessa [10]

The phosphate group of one nucleotide bonds covalently with the sugar molecule of the next nucleotide, and so on, forming a long polymer of nucleotide monomers. The sugar–phosphate groups line up in a “backbone” for each single strand of DNA, and the nucleotide bases stick out from this backbone. The carbon atoms of the five-carbon sugar are numbered clockwise from the oxygen as 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ (1′ is read as “one prime”). The phosphate group is attached to the 5′ carbon of one nucleotide and the 3′ carbon of the next nucleotide. In its natural state, each DNA molecule is actually composed of two single strands held together along their length with hydrogen bonds between the bases.
