What does the statement “Mass is conserved during a chemical reaction” mean?

1 answer:

3 0

This is the law of conservation of mass, which means that, for ex., if I burn my book, the mass of the smoke, cinders and ashes I'm left with will be the same as my original book.

The best way seperate salt fron wateris with the use of

ExtremeBDS [4]

You can boil or evaporate the water and the salt will be left behind as a solid. If you want to collect the water, you can use distillation. This works because salt has a much higher boiling point than water. One way to separate salt and water at home is to boil the salt water in a pot with a lid. So, I would say maybe oil.

Suppose a 0.025M aqueous solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is prepared. Calculate the equilibrium molarity of SO4−2. You'll find

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: The concentration of $SO_4^{2-}$ at equilibrium is 0.00608 M

Explanation:

As, sulfuric acid is a strong acid. So, its first dissociation will easily be done as the first dissociation constant is higher than the second dissociation constant.

In the second dissociation, the ions will remain in equilibrium.

We are given:

Concentration of sulfuric acid = 0.025 M

Equation for the first dissociation of sulfuric acid:

$H_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow H^+(aq.)+HSO_4^-(aq.)$
