Answer:

C. comparing the mass of the nucleus with the masses of the protons and neutrons

Explanation:

Mass defect is the difference in mass of an atom and the sum of the masses of neutrons, protons and electrons. The difference in mass or the mass defect in converted to energy according to Einstein's equation, E = mc², where E is energy, m is mass and c is the speed of light. Also according to law of conservation of mass and energy, mass and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Mass gets converted ton energy and vice versa. The total mass and energy of the universe remains conserved.

_Cuo +H, → _Cu + _H,0
Elena-2011 [213]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

CuO(s) + H₂(g) →  Cu(s) + H₂O(l)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Assuming the reaction is the reduction of CuO by H₂
  • Then the balanced equation for the reaction is;

CuO(s) + H₂(g) →  Cu(s) + H₂O(l)

  • The equation shows the reducing property of hydrogen gas, such that hydrogen reduces metal oxides such as copper(ii)oxide to the respective metals.
  • The law of conservation requires chemical equations to be balanced so as the mass of reactants will be equal to that of products.
  • In this case; there is 1 copper atom, 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms on both side of the equation and thus the equation is balanced.
