According to the law of conservation of mass, what is the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation?
A. the volume of the substances
B. the subscripts
C. the total mass of atoms
D. the coefficients
Answer:
A balanced equation demonstrates the conservation of mass by having the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.
Explanation:
Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. ... Use coefficients of products and reactants to balance the number of atoms of an element on both sides of a chemical equation.
Consider the balanced equation for the combustion of methane.
CH
4
+
2O
2
→
CO
2
+
2H
2
O
All balanced chemical equations must have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.
In this equation, we have 1
C
atom, 4
H
atoms, and 4
O
atoms on each side of the arrow.
The number of atoms does not change, so the total mass of all the atoms is the same before and after the reaction. Mass is conserved.
Here is a video that discusses the importance of balancing a chemical equation.

<u>Elements can't be broken down</u>, into a simplre set of properties. They are one strict unit & cannot be broken down, however they can be added together to make a compound.
HOPE THIS HELPS & good luck <3 !!!!!
Answer and Explanation:
For the following balanced reaction:
PCl₅(g) ↔ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)
We can see that all reactants and products are gases, so it is an homogeneous equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant Kp can be written from the partial pressures (P) of reactants and products as follows:
Where PPCl₃ is the partial pressure of PCl₃ (reactant), PCl₂ is the partial pressure of Cl₂ (reactant) and PPCl₅ is the partial pressure of PCl₅ (product).
Answer:
An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.
Explanation:
Neon - 20 and Sodium - 23
Neon - 20
Protons = 10
Neutrons = 10
Sodium - 23
Protons = 11
Neutrons = 12
With the information above and checking the options;
An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.
This option is correct.
