Explanation:

A balanced chemical reaction is a reaction in which there is equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side. Also, the mass of atoms or compounds present on reactant side equals the mass of atoms or compounds present on product side.

For example, CaSO_{4} + 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl_{2} + H_{2}SO_{4}

Molar mass of CaSO_{4} = 136.14 g/mol

Molar mass of 2HCl = 2 \times 36.46 g/mol = 72.92 g/mol

Therefore, sum of molar mass of reactants = (136.14 + 72.92) g/mol

                                                                       = 209.05 g/mol

Molar mass of CaCl_{2} = 110.98 g/mol

Molar mass of H_{2}SO_{4} = 98.07 g/mol

Therefore, sum of molar mass of products = (110.98 + 98.07) g/mol

                                                                       = 209.05

Therefore, we can see that it is true that when you balance a chemical reaction, you are making sure that the law of conservation of matter is obeyed.

<span>Answer: yes, when you balance a chemical reaction, you are making sure that the law of conservation of matter is obeyed.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
Justification:
</span><span />

<span>1) When you balance a chemical reaction, you add the coefficients to make the number of atoms of each element in the left side of the equation (reactants) equal to number of atoms of the same elements in the right side (products).
</span><span />

<span>2) Since, each atom has a unique atomic mass associated, it results, necessarily, that the mass of the atoms of the reactants is equal to the mass of the atoms of the products</span>.

Question 14 A student dissolves 1.5g of styrene C8H8 in 225.mL of a solvent with a density of 1.02/gmL . The student notices tha
Yuki888 [10]

We must to know:

Cm = molarity = niu / Vs, when the niu = no. of moles and Vs = Volume of solution

the no. niu = mass / molecular mass of substance

molecular mass of C8H8 = 12x8+8x1 = 104 g/mol

=> niu = 1,5 / 104 = 0,0144 moles C8H8

=> Cm = 0,0144/0,225 = 0,06 mol/L

Cmm = molality = niu (C8H8) / mass of solvent (kg)

=> p = mass / V => mass (solvent) = p x V

=> 225 x 1,02 = 229,5 g solvent = 0,2295 kg solvent

=> Cmm = 0,0144 / 0,229,5 = 0,063

How many atoms are in a sample of 0.75 moles of carbon atoms
vova2212 [387]

Answer: 4.5165 *10^-23 moles Carbon

Explanation:

There are 6.022*10^23 atoms in a mole.

Therefore, there would be 6.022*10^-23*0.75 atoms in 0.75 moles of Carbon.

= 4.5165 *10^-23 moles Carbon
