IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

When food is eaten it is digested by converting it into smaller particles. These smaller particles are than digest and gives the energy to our body. The energy which produced is just come from our food on this base we can say that mass neither created nor destroyed but it change one form to another, just like the form from food to energy.

Another example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

A pod of bottlenose dolphins is showing signs of stress in the Gulf of Mexico. Why would it be important for scientists to study
anyanavicka [17]
<span>Age structure would help scientists determine if the problem exists with young or old dolphins.

The age structure shows the distribution of the ages of the individuals in a population. This not only shows the type of change taking place in the population (increasing, decreasing or staying the same) but also is able to help us relate problems to ages. By determining the which age group is more stressed, the scientists will be able to narrow down the causes of the stress and create more accurate hypotheses.
