The third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

Option 3.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that the sum of the masses of reactants should be equal to the sum of the masses of the products.

For example, if we consider the first option to verify if it obeys law of conservation of mass or not, 2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

So one way to verify it is to find the mass of Na, then multiply it with 2, and then add this with 2 times of mass of chlorine. So this sum should be equal to the 2 times mass of NaCl. But it is somewhat lengthy.

Another way to easily determine this is to check if the elements are present equally in both sides. Such as, in reactant side and product side 2 atoms of Na is present . Similarly, the Cl atoms are also present in equal number in both reactant and product side. Thus this obeyed the law of conservation of mass.

Like this, if we see the second option, there also 1 atom of Na is present in reactant and product side and 2 molecules of H is present in reactant and product side, 1 oxygen is present in reactant and product side and 1 Cl is present in reactant and product side. So it also obeys the law of conservation of mass.

But in the third option, P₄ + 5 O₂→ 2 P₄O₁₀, here, there is 4 atoms of P in reactant side but in product side there is (4*2) = 8 atoms of P. Similarly, the number of atoms of oxygen in reactants and product side is also not same. So the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

The fourth option also obeys the law of conservation of mass as the number of atoms of each element is same in both the product and reactant side.

Thus, the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

You’ve been waiting for the bus and your hands become cold. When you get onto the bus and sit down, you put your hands under you
snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

The <u>First Law of Thermodynamics</u> states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. In other words, energy can be converted from one form into another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.

<u>Conduction</u> is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, which can take place in solids, liquids, and gases.

When you put your cold hands under your legs to warm your hands up, the heat energy from your legs is being transferred to your hands through conduction. However, since energy cannot be created, there is no extra heat energy that can instantaneously replace the heat created by your legs.
