Define the law of conservation of mass

Chemistry

The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Thus, the amount of matter cannot change.

If 6.02*10^23 molecules of ammonia react with 12.04*10^23 molecules of hydrogen chloride, how many molecules are in the reaction
Helen [10]

Answer:

18.06 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Add the two amounts of molecules together.

6.02 × 10²³  +  12.04 × 10²³  =  18.06 × 10²³

You will have 18.06 × 10²³ molecules in the vessel when the reaction is complete.  This is because of the Law of Conservation of Mass.  Mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.  You will have the exact number of molecules in the reaction vessel as you did in the beginning.  The types of molecules may change, but the number will stay the same.

Hydrobromic acid, HBr, is a strong acid. Hydrofluoric acid, HF, is a weak acid. If you prepared equal
snow_tiger [21]
HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.

In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.

pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.

If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.

Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.

Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.

Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.

Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.

A person weighed 15 pennies on a balance and recorded the following masses:
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A)  yes

B) The average mass of 12 pennies should be expressed as

( 3.131 + 3.129 + -------- X12 ) g /  12

where X12 = is the mass of the 12th penny

Explanation:

A) I think the the Bureau of Mint changed the way it made pennies because from the experiment and observation carried out on 15 different pennies it can be seen that they had different weights and this difference is associated with the period/time of production of the different pennies,

B ) The average mass of any object should be expressed in the si unit of mass and not having ($) sign attached to the value instead it should be expressed in grams or kilograms (s.i unit of mass )

The average mass of 12 pennies should be expressed as

( 3.131 + 3.129 + -------- X12 ) g /  12

where X12 = is the mass of the 12th penny
