ANSWER: C) Law of Conservation of Mass
EXPLANATION: In the given cycle, it is seen that th sediments are layered and gets compressed into sedimentary rocks which eventually gets heated and compressed to form metamorphic rocks. But, the total amount of minerals present in the sediments remains the same throughout any stage of the cycle.
This proves the law of conservation of mass which states that mass can not be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transferred from one form to another. So, in this case, only phase transition occurred but the component which is mineral inside the sediments remains constant.
Therefore, the answer is law of conservation of mass.
1. 2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)⇒2AlCl₃(aq)+3H₂(g)
2. 2AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s)⇒Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
3. 2C₃H₈O(l) + 9O₂(g) ⇒ 6CO₂(g) + 8H₂O(g)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
There are several reactions that can occur in a chemical reaction: single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition or combustion, etc.
1.Al(s)+HCl(aq)⇒AlCl₃(aq)+H₂(g)
type : single replacement
balance :
2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)⇒2AlCl₃(aq)+3H₂(g)
2. AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s) ⇒ Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag (s)
type : single replacement
balance :
2AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s)⇒Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
3. C₃H₈O + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O
type : combustion of alcohol
balance :
2C₃H₈O(l) + 9O₂(g) ⇒ 6CO₂(g) + 8H₂O(g)
Explanation:
The generated Na+ and OH-ions are immediately surrounded by molecules of water (typically 6, each). There is the development of the exothermic hydration sphere for each ion. It seems as though there is negative overall energy of dissolving solid NaOH.
Now, since this dissolution is exothermic the temperature of the mixture rises.
4 elements are classified in group 4 like titanium, zirconium, hafnium and ruthorfordium
