According to the law of conservation of mass, mass cannot be gained or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Why can’t you simply ad

d the masses of two reactants to determine the total mass of product?

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is conserved which also means that it cannot be created or destroyed within the isolated system.

We can add the mass of the reactant and can be equal to the mass of the product. But in some cases, it will not work like:

If reactants are not in the mole ratio, there will be a limiting reagent.

If a gas is one of reactants or products.

Radioactive decay and  nuclear reactions(fission or fusion).

MgSO4 x 7H2O:
natka813 [3]

Answer:In regards to writing the formula, we know that magnesium has a charge of 1+ and sulfate, SO4, has a charge of 1-. Sulfate is a polyatomic ion so the charge of the whole thing is (SO4)1-. When you combine them you end up with MgSO4 and the "heptahydrate" is seven water molecules.

Analyze: The metallic character of an element is determined by how readily it loses electrons. Elements that lose electrons most
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Group 1 or akali metals have the greatest metallic property.

Group 17 has the lowest metallic character.

C. As you move from right to lefton the periodic table, metallic character increases which is the ability to lose electrons. Ionization energy decrease as we move from right to left on the periodic table.

Explanation:

Akali metals in group 1 have the greatest metallic property and they are the most reactive metals. Francium metal on the group has the most metallic characteristics. It is rare and very radioactive. Group 17 has the lowest metallic character. This is because while moving across the period, the number of electrons in the outermost shell increases. This make it difficult for atoms to leave see electrons and become electropositive . Group 17 has the highest tendency of accepting electrons.

Ionization energy is the energy use to remove electron from an atom in gaseous stage. Ionization energy decrease as we move from right to left on the periodic table and metallic character increases as we move from right to left on the periodic table.

Which stament about energy is mostly correct
klasskru [66]
I would say C is the most correct. 
In D it depends on what water source you're using. Let's say it is a waterfall, then the source of the water (melting ice or a lake) may disappear in the future. 
If you're using underwater "windmills" placed in the ocean, then you would expect it to last a while as the ocean will not disappear in the near future.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between ammonium
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

 (NH₄)₃PO₄ (l) + Al(NO₃)₃(l) -----------→  AlPO₄(l) + 3NH₄NO₃(l)

Explanation:

Data Give:

Reaction between ammonium phosphate solution and solution of aluminum nitrate

  • Write a balanced chemical equation
  • include phase symbols

Details:

To write a balanced chemical equation we have to know formula units of compounds or molecules

Formula units

ammonium phosphate : (NH₄)₃PO₄

aluminum nitrate: Al(NO₃)₃

ammonium nitrate: NH₄NO₃

Now to write a chemical equation

  • we have to write the chemical formulas  or formula unit of each compound
  • write the reactant on left side of the arrow
  • write the product on the right side of the arrow
  • put a plus sign in 2 reactants and products on each side of the arrow
  • balance the equation by putting coefficient with compound formula
  • write the phase symbols on the right corner of the compound formula in brackets

So the Reaction will be

                      (NH₄)₃PO₄ + Al(NO₃)₃ -----------→  AlPO₄ + NH₄NO₃

Now balance the Chemical equation

                     (NH₄)₃PO₄ + Al(NO₃)₃ -----------→  AlPO₄ + 3NH₄NO₃

Now write the phase Symbols

                     (NH₄)₃PO₄ (l) + Al(NO₃)₃(l) -----------→  AlPO₄(l) + 3NH₄NO₃(l)

all compounds in the reaction are in liquid form and soluble in water

*** Note:

There is no aluminum nitrite in chemicals formulas

Also ammonium nitrite can not be used in pure isolated form due to its highly instability
