Answer:

Yes, Mass is conserved.

Explanation:

Every chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that in chemical reactions, mass is always constant.

     Equation:

                       2Na + Cl₂  →  2NaCl

From the equation above, one can observe that the reaction started using 2 atoms of Na and it produced 2 atoms of the same element in NaCl. A molecule of Cl produced 2 atoms of Cl in the NaCl

Design a simple experiment to support your answer:

Aim: To demonstrate the law of conservation of mass

   One Na atom weighs 23g

   Two Na atom will weigh 2 x 23 = 46g

1 atom of Cl is 35.5g

1 molecule of Cl containing two atoms of Cl will weigh 2 x 35.5 = 71g

Total mass of reactants = mass of 2Na + 1Cl₂ = (46 + 71)g = 117g

On the product side, Mass of 1 NaCl = 23+ 35.5 = 58.5g

Two moles of NaCl will give 2 x 58.5g = 117g

Since the mass on both side is the same, one can say mass is conserved.

Which of the following is not included in John Dalton's modern theory of the atom?
Akimi4 [234]

The answer for the following question is option "C".

Option C is not included in the John Dalton's modern theory of an atom.

  • "It states atoms of different elements combine to form new compound" but not new elements

Explanation:

According to John's Dalton's modern theory of an atom:

1. All matter is composed of atoms.

2. Atoms cannot be created,destroyed or subdivided in the ordinary chemical reactions.

3. Atoms of one element differ in the properties from atoms of an another element.

(i.e.)Each and every atom of the element has its own unique properties of their own.

4. Atoms of one  element combine with the atoms of another element to <u>form new compound.</u>

5. Atoms that make up an element are identical to each other.

Select all steps below that you followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment. used tongs or a test tube holder t
uysha [10]

Explanation:

Steps followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment are as follows.

  • Used tongs or a test tube holder to hold materials over the Bunsen burner flame.
  • Wore gloves and goggles.
  • Made careful observations of the products and reactants.
  • Did not smell the gases produced.

When we heat a test tube over bunsen flame then the tube gets hot and when we hold it with bare hands then out hands will burn. Therefore, it is advised to hold test tube with the help of tongs or a holder so that our hands did not burn.

We should also wear gloves and goggles so that any acid would not spill directly on our hands, skin and eyes as it can affect or damage the skin severely.

Careful observations were made so that correct calculations about the experiment can be carried out.

It is also advised that we should not smell the gases produced but gases move freely from one place to another in a laboratory or any where else.

So, we can try to avoid it by covering our mouth with a cloth but we cannot stop it. If we keep on inhaling the gases produced in a laboratory then it can also lead to severe disease or defect in the human body.

14. A cinder cone is the simplest type of volcano.<br> a. True<br> b. False
dusya [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone, making them the simplest out there
