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 of the following has to remain constant to allow you to use the combined gas law for calculations?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Amount of gas

Explanation:

The combined gas law has to do with pressure, volume, and temperature. All of them can be a variable that you have to solve for. However, amount of gas is not a variable you can solve for, which means it must remain constant.

Find mass of 3 moles of water​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

54 g

Explanation:

1 mole of water = H2O

mass of 1 mole of H2O= mass of h2 + mass of o

= 2× mass of h +mass of o

= 2×1+16 =18 g

1 mole of water = 18g

3moles of water = 18×3g= 54g
