<h2>Answer:</h2>
The mass of the system will remain the same if there is no conversion of mass to energy in the reaction.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- If the system is closed, then according to the law of mass conservation the mass of the reaction system will remain the same.
- <u><em>Law of conservation of the mass: In simple words, it is described as the mass of a closed system can never be changed, it may transfer from one form to another or change into energy.</em></u>
- But if the reaction involves energy transfer like heat or light production, in this case, the mass can be changed.
They have free electron(s) on their outermost energy levels making them good conductors.
They have metallic bonds in their chemical structure.
They readily lose the electrons on their outermost energy levels, to bond with non-metals in ionic bonds to form chemical compounds called "salts"

Lookup the atomic weights of the involved elements
Atomic weight potassium = 39.0983
Atomic weight Chlorine = 35.453
Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass KClO3 = 39.0983 + 35.453 + 3 * 15.999 = 122.5483 g/mol
Moles KClO3 = 87.4 g / 122.5483 g/mol = 0.713188188 mol
The balanced equation for heating KClO3 is
2 KClO3 = 2 KCl + 3 O2
So 2 moles of KClO3 will break down into 3 moles of oxygen molecules.
0.713188188 mol / 2 * 3 = 1.069782282 mols
So we're going to get 1.069782282 moles of oxygen molecules. Since each molecule has 2 atoms, the mass will be
1.069782282 * 2 * 15.999 = 34.23089345 grams
Rounding the results to 3 significant figures gives 34.2 grams</span>
Science doesn't make moral judgments, doesn't make aesthetic judgments, doesn't tell you how to use scientific knowledge, doesn't draw conclusions about supernatural explanations. So that's why I think it has limitations.
Answer:
This reaction is exothermic because the system shifted to the left on heating.
Explanation:
2NO₂ (g) ⇌ N₂O₄(g)
Reactant => NO₂ (dark brown in color)
Product => N₂O₄ (colorless)
From the question given above, we were told that when the reaction at equilibrium was moved from room temperature to a higher temperature, the mixture turned dark brown in color.
This simply means that the reaction does not like heat. Hence the reaction is exothermic reaction.
Also, we can see that when the temperature was increased, the reaction turned dark brown in color indicating that the increase in the temperature favors the backward reaction (i.e the equilibrium shift to the left) as NO₂ which is the reactant is dark brown in color. This again indicates that the reaction is exothermic because an increase in the temperature of an exothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the left.
Therefore, we can conclude that:
The reaction is exothermic because the system shifted to the left on heating.
