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.

If a black ball is denser than a white ball of the same size, what does the black ball have??
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: The black ball will have more mass than the white ball.

Explanation: Density of a substance is defined as the ratio of mass and volume occupied by the substance.

Mathematically,

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

We are given that the two balls are of same size, which means that the volume of both the balls are same. We are also given that the black ball is more dense than the white ball, which means that the black ball will have more mass.

As, Density\propto Mass

15.50 g of NH4Cl reacts with an excess of AgNO3. In the reaction 35.50 g AgCl is produced. what is the theoretical yield of AgCl
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 41.6 g of AgCl

Explanation:

Data

mass of NH₄Cl = 15.5 g

mass of AgNO₃ = excess

mass of AgCl = 35.5 g

theoretical yield = ?

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction.

              NH₄Cl  +  AgNO₃   ⇒   AgCl  +  NH₄NO₃

2.- Calculate the molar mass of NH₄Cl and AgCl

NH₄Cl = 14 + 4 + 35.5 = 53.5 g

AgCl = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5 g

3.- Calculate the theoretical yield

                 53.5 g of NH₄Cl -------------------- 143.5 g of AgCl

                  15.5 g of NH₄Cl  -------------------    x

                         x = (15.5 x 143.5) / 53.5

                         x = 2224.25 / 53.5

                         x = 41.6 g of AgCl

According to the law of conservation of mass, what is the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation?
Firlakuza [10]

According to the law of conservation of mass, what is the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation?

A. the volume of the substances

B. the subscripts

C. the total mass of atoms

D. the coefficients

Answer:

A balanced equation demonstrates the conservation of mass by having the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.

Explanation:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. ... Use coefficients of products and reactants to balance the number of atoms of an element on both sides of a chemical equation.

Consider the balanced equation for the combustion of methane.

CH

4

+

2O

2

→

CO

2

+

2H

2

O


All balanced chemical equations must have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.


In this equation, we have 1

C

atom, 4

H

atoms, and 4

O

atoms on each side of the arrow.


The number of atoms does not change, so the total mass of all the atoms is the same before and after the reaction. Mass is conserved.


Here is a video that discusses the importance of balancing a chemical equation.

Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water?
kirill [66]
Conductive when liquid - ions are charged particles, but ionic compounds can only conduct electricity if their ions are free to move. So ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when they are solid, but they do conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or when they are melted.
