Which equation obeys the law of conservation of mass?
2 answers:
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.
The chemical equation for synthesis of from

Answer:
Explanation:
First, we need to find the molecular mass of water (H₂O).
H₂O has:
- 2 Hydrogen atoms (subscript of 2)
- 1 Oxygen atom (implied subscript of 1)
Use the Periodic Table to find the mass of hydrogen and oxygen. Then, multiply by the number of atoms of the element.
- Hydrogen: 1.0079 g/mol
- Oxygen: 15.9994 g/mol
There are 2 hydrogen atoms, so multiply the mass by 2.
- 2 Hydrogen: (1.0079 g/mol)(2)= 2.0158 g/mol
Now, find the mass of H₂O. Add the mass of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
- 2.0158 g/mol + 15.9994 g/mol = 18.0152 g/mol
Next, find the amount of moles using the molecular mass we just calculated. Set up a ratio.
Multiply. The grams of H₂O will cancel out.
The original measurement given had two significant figures (3,2). We must round to have 2 significant figures. All the zeroes before the 1 are not significant. So, round to the ten thousandth.
The 7 in the hundred thousandth place tells us to round up.
There are about <u>0.0018 moles in 0.032 grams.</u>
