Answer:  

Difference between reflection and refraction :

  • The reflection is the phenomena based on light propagation where the light bounce back after hitting a polished surface.

For example:- light bounce back at different angles when it hits a mirror or shiny metal.

  • The refraction is the also a phenomena based on light propagation where the light rays passes through a transparent surface and changes its direction by bending.

For example :-when we put a spoon in a glass of water, the spoon it refract light and appears bent.

When sulfur burns, it forms sulfur dioxide (SO2). Its chemical reaction is S + O2 → SO2.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2.

Explanation:

This can be explained by the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>. This law states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Knowing this, we can say that the reactants of a chemical reaction must be equal to the products.

In this case, the reactants Sulfur (S) and Oxygen (O2) must equal the mass of the product Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Therefore, the statement <em>"The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2" </em>is correct.
