Answer:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

Definition:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

If 10.0 g of calcium carbonate produced 3.8 g carbondioxide and 6.2 g calcium oxide than according to this law,

CaCO₃  =  CaO + CO₂

10.0 g    =   6.2 g + 3.8 g

10.0 g  =  10.0 g

This reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

100 PTS+BRAINILIEST: Why does it get colder as you go higher through the atmosphere, if you are getting closer to the sun??
sattari [20]

Answer/Explanation:

Heat from the sun hits the ground and is absorbed. The higher you go, it gets more colder due to the fact that the air doesn't hold onto the radiation as it goes straight through the ground, which is why the top of mountains are very cold, and people are able to die in minutes.

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N.
N76 [4]

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N, if the molar mass is 90± 5 g/mol the molecular formula is N₂O₄.

<h3>What is molar mass?</h3>

The molar mass of a chemical compound is determined by dividing its mass by the quantity of that compound, expressed as the number of moles in the sample, measured in moles. A substance's molar mass is one of its properties. The compound's molar mass is an average over numerous samples, which frequently have different masses because of isotopes.

<h3>How to find the molecular formula?</h3>

The whole-number multiple is defined as follows.

Whole-number multiple = \frac{molar mass (g/mol)}{empirical formula mass (g/mol)}

The empirical formula mass is shown below.

Mw of empirical formula = Mw of N+ 2 x (Mw of O)

                                      = 14.01 g/mol + 2 x (16.00 g/mol)

                                      = 46.01 g/mol

With the given molar mass or the molecular formula mass, we can get the whole-number multiple for the compound.

Whole-number multiple = \frac{90 g/mol }{46.01 g/mol} ≈ 2

Multiplying the subscripts of NO2 by 2, the molecular formula is N(1x2)O(2x2)= N2O4.

A pair of students determining the molarity of their unknown HCl solution calculates the concentration to be 0.0961 M on their f
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

It should be noted that the meaning of molarity is the ratio of moles of solute per liter of solution.

It should be understood that when determining or finding the molarity of an unknown compound ,the process should be performed or carried out at least 3 times. This is done to remove any form of doubt.

The first calculated value for the concentration of the compound will be regarded as rough value, while the second and the third will be regarded as the first and second values respectively.

In this case, the third value for the concentration of HCl will be calculated to for confirmation of other value, that is to be finally sure of its concentration.

Which organism would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring?
Arada [10]

The organism that would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring is the cat (Option C). Meiosis is a type of cell division that generates more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction.

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells (gametes), each containing half of the genetic material.

Animals (e.g., cats) generate gametes by meiosis which fuse during fertilization to produce new offspring.

Both amoeba and bacteria reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called binary fission. Moreover, yeasts also reproduce asexually by a process called budding and fission.

Both asexual and sexual types of reproduction generate genetic variability by the emergence of new mutations in daughter cells.

Meiosis generates much more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction due to two different processes:

  • Random assortment of chromosomes, which produces new allele combinations.

  • Recombination, i.e., by the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.
