Answer: Yes, the mass of the reactants always equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

In a balanced chemical reaction, the mass of reactants is always equal to the mass of product that is a chemical reaction follows follows 'Law of Conservation of Mass'.

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

For example: $2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

Mass of the reactants = Mass of products

$2(2\times 1amu)+1(2\times 16amu)=2(2\times 1amu+16amu)$

36 amu = 36 amu

Yes, the mass of the reactants always equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.

What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about the atom?

VLD [36.1K]

The alpha particles that were fired at the gold foil were positively charged. ... These experiments led Rutherford to describe the atom as containing mostly empty space, with a very small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, which contained most of the mass of the atom, with the electrons orbiting the nucleus.

Which of the following natural resources cant be reused

ohaa [14]

Hi there! Air and sunlight can definitely be reused. Those are abundant and renewable resources. Therefore, A and D are eliminated. There is a limited amount of water, however, it's impossible to run out of it to the point that there's no more on Earth. C is out. The only answer choice that makes sense is coal, because it's a nonrenewable resource, and it takes millions of years to make more of. It's a fossil fuel, so once we use them up, we can't get anymore during our lives. The answer is B: coal.
