Question

If the reactants contain one chlorine molecule, do you know how many chlorine atoms will be in the product? Include conversion of matter in your explanation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of Chlorine atoms in the product is 2.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The reactants contain one chlorine molecule($Cl_{2}$) which has two chlorine atoms.

Then, according to law of conservation of matter, the product must contain two chlorine atoms.
