Answer:

  • Option A) <u><em>Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂</em></u>

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass is guaranteed in a chemical equation. Since the mass of the atoms do not change, that means that the number of each kind of atoms in the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of the same kind in the product side.

The first equation is:

<em><u>A) Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂</u></em>

<u />

Number of atoms:

        atom      Reactant side        Product side

          Mg                1                              1

           Cl                 2                             2

Therefore, the table displays that there are the same number of atoms of each kind on both sides, showing that<em> the total mass during the chemical reaction stays the same.</em>

<u />

<em><u>B) NaOH + MgCl₂ → NaCl + MgOH</u></em>

This equation displays 2 atoms of Cl on the left side and 1 atom of Cl on the right side; thus, it is not showing that the total mass stays the same during the chemical reaction.

<em />

<u><em>C) 2Na + 2H₂O → NaOH + H₂</em></u>

Neither the sodium, nor oxygen, nor hydrogen atoms are balanced. Thus, this does not show that the total mass stays the same.

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>D) H₂O + O₂ → H₂O</em></u>

The reactant side contains 3 oxygen atoms and the product side contains 1 atoms of oxygen; thus, this is not balanced: it does not show that the total mass stays de same during the chemical reaction.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Mg + Cl2 → MgCl2 obeys the law of conservation of mass since the same number of each type of atom appears on both sides of the reaction.

Which statement best describes the formula equation cl1(g) + 2kbr(aq) —&gt; 2kcl(aq)+br2(i)
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The chlorine gas and potassium bromide solution react to form liquid  bromine and potassium chloride solution.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cl₂(g) + KBr (aq) → KCl (aq) + Br₂(l)

Balanced chemical equation:

Cl₂(g) + 2KBr (aq) → 2KCl (aq) + Br₂(l)

This equation showed that the chlorine gas and potassium bromide solution react to form liquid  bromine and potassium chloride solution.

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine it displace the bromine from potassium and form potassium chloride solution.

The given equation is balanced and completely hold the 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.

Breaking an object such as a mirror is an example of physical change, chemical change,physical reaction, chemical reaction
dangina [55]

Answer:

option A= Physical change

Explanation:

physical change:

" It is a change in which no new substance is formed"

Breaking of object like glass is the example of physical change because it is not change into another object. It effect the form of object but can not change the chemical composition.

Chemical changes:

" it is a change in which one substance is converted into new product through chemical reaction".

During the chemical changes the types and the number of atom remain same but their arrangement changed.

for example: burning of wood, baking of cake, digesting food, resting of iron etc.

Physical reaction:

" physical reaction occur during the molecular rearrangement. There is no chemical change occur"

In this type of changes no bonds are break to form new bonds, for example boiling point.

Chemical reaction:

" chemical reaction occur when molecules are chemically react with each others and bonds formation and breaking is also occur"

Newton's F=ma, which means the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of an object times its acceleration (a)

Explanation:

F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration.
