Mass is measured in kilograms.
Answer:
A. It shows the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
Explanation:
A balanced chemical equation demonstrates the conservation of matter by showing the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation or expression.
According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction but atoms are rearranged.
- Based on this premise, the number of atoms or moles on both sides of the expression must be equal.
- If there are 3 atoms of carbon on one side, the product must also reflect 3 atoms of carbon.

Explanation:
Answer: The calcium and magnesium metal samples had undergone a chemical reaction (oxidation) with the oxygen present in the air around the shelf to form oxides which caused them to lose their metallic luster overtime. This process is known as tarnishing.
Aluminium also undergoes this process but at a slower rate due to its lower reactivity compared with calcium or magnesium.
Explanation:
Calcium and magnesium belong to the group 2 of the periodic table of metals,generally called alkaline earth metals. They are very reactive and on exposure to air, they react with the oxygen present in air to form <em>coatings/films</em> of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide respectively over the metals. This causes the metals to lose their metallic shine or luster overtime.
Aluminium also undergoes this process generally known as <em>tarnishing</em> forming aluminium oxide but at a slower rate when compared to calcium or magnesium due to their being more reactive than aluminium is.
