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.

How will the candle contributes to the pressure and temperature of gases inside the glass?
Tems11 [23]
How will the candle contributes to the pressure and temperature of gases inside the glass?

The candle contributes to the pressure and temperature of the gases inside the glass because of the increasing temperature the lit of the candle disposes into the gas molecules inside and as these gas molecules rise in temperature they become unsettling and since heat makes gas molecules robust the area becomes smaller for them to be ecstatic and as the dynamics is explained p=f/a the pressure increases.

Consider a solution made from a nonvolatile solute and a volatile solvent. Which statement is true?
34kurt

Answer:

b) The boiling point of the solution is always greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when we add a nonvolatile solute to a volatile solvent which has a relatively low boiling point, we can evidence the increase of the boiling point of the resulting solution as more energy must be supplied to take the molecules from liquid to gas. This fact matches with the boiling point elevation colligative property due to the solute's addition, which states that the boiling point of the solution is always greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent, therefore, answer is b).

Best regards.
