Explanation:

According to law of conservation of mass, total mass of reactants will be equal to the total mass of products.

For example, $HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O$

Therefore, mass of reactant molecules will be as follows.

Mass of HCl is 36.46v g/mol

Mass of NaOH is 39.99 g/mol

Total mass of reactants is (36.46 + 39.99) g/mol = 76.45 g/mol

Mass of product molecules will be as follows.

Mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol

Mass of $H_{2}O$ is 18.01 g/mol

Total mass of products is (58.44 + 18.01) g/mol = 76.45 g/mol

Thus, we can conclude that any equation which represents total mass of reactants equal to the total mass of products is actually obeying the law of conservation of mass.

How many grams do 6.534e+24 molecules of phosphoric acid weigh?

fredd [130]

Answer:

1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Explanation:

To find the mass of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), you should (1) convert molecules to moles (via Avogadro's number) and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass from periodic table).

Molar Mass (H₃PO₄): 3(1.008 g/mol) + 30.974 g/mol + 4(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mas (H₃PO₄): 97.99 g/mol

6.534 x 10²⁴ molecules H₃PO₄ 1 mole 97.99 g
--------------------------------------------- x ------------------------------------- x --------------
6.022 x 10²³ molecules 1 mole

= 1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Choose the best statement of the octet rule from those listed below atoms lose 8 electrons to become valent atoms lose 8 electro

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.

The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.

For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
