Based on the law of conservation of mass, which of the following statements is correct? Matter is neither created nor destroyed.

Matter can be created but it cannot be destroyed. The total mass of substances before a reaction is less than the total mass after a reaction. The total mass of substances before a reaction is greater than the total mass after a reaction.

The first statement (Matter is neither created nor destroyed) is correct.

The second statement would violate the law of conservation of mass (I will refer to this as LCM), as it would mean matter can "flow" into the universe, but not out, meaning the total matter will never be less than it was before.

The third statement violates LCM because it means matter is created during a reaction, which is not true.

The last statement violates LCM because it means matter is lost during a reaction, which is not true.

Of the five salts listed below, which has the highest concentration of its cation in water? assume that all salt solutions are s
Zigmanuir [339]
First of all, I need to know what these five salts are. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture. The Ksp is the solubility product constant. It follows the formula:

Ksp = [cation concentration]ᵃ[anion concentration]ᵇ
where a and b are the subscripts of the metal and nonmetal, respectively. 

For the solutions ahead, let x be the concentration of the cation.

A.  The formula is PbCr₂O₄.
2.8×10⁻¹³ = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 5.29×10⁻⁷ M

B. The formula is Co(OH)₂. 
 1.3×10⁻¹⁵ = [x][x]²
Solving for x, x = 1.09×10⁻⁵ M

C. The formula is CoS. 
 5×10⁻²² = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 2.24×10⁻¹¹ M

D. The formula is Cr(OH)₃. 
 1.6×10⁻³⁰ = [x][x]³
Solving for x, x = 3.56×10⁻⁶ M

E. The formula is Ag₂S. 
 6×10⁻⁵¹ = [x]²[x]
Solving for x, x = 1.82×10⁻¹⁷ M

<em>Thus,the highest concentration is letter B, Cobalt (II) Hydroxide.</em>
