Mass can’t be destroyed. So since not all the mass was found in the products, that simply means that it was lost to the environment. For example, let’s say hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and we get water in the product. Now that oxygen could have reacted with something else that we didn’t take into account when measuring the mass of the H2O released.

Tldr, some of the reactants were lost to the surroundings

How much kinetic energy does a 2kg object have if it is traveling at a velocity of 2m/s?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Given, Mass of an object, m = 2kg

velocity, v = 2m/s

We have,

KE = 1/2 m v²

= 1/2 × 2 (2)²

= 1/2 × 8

= 4J

Hence, 4J is the required Kinetic energy.

Two samples of a compound containing elements a and b are decomposed. the first sample produces 15 g of a and 35 g of
Alborosie

According to law of definite proportion, for a compound, elements always combine in fixed ratio by mass.

The formula of compound remains the same, let it be a_{x}b_{y} where, a and b are two different elements.

Since, the ratio of mass remains the same , calculate the ratio of masses of element a and b in both cases

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{15}{35}=\frac{10}{y}

rearranging,

y=\frac{10\times 35}{15}=23.3

Thus, mass of b produced will be 23.3 g.
