Answer:
D. 15g
Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that, in a chemical reaction, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. This means that the amount of matter in the elements of the reactants must be equal to the amount in the resulting products.
In this question, 25 grams of a reactant AB, was broken down in a reaction to produce 10 grams of products A and X grams of product B. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactant must be equal to the total mass of the products. This means that 25 grams must also be the total mass of both products in this reaction. Hence, if product A is 10 grams, product B will be 25 grams - 10 grams = 15 grams.
Therefore, product B must be 15 grams in order to form a total of 25 grams when added to the mass of product A. This will equate the mass of the reactant AB and fulfill the law of conservation of mass.
Answer:
The answer to your question is the first option
Explanation:
Just remember that to balance using this method,
first look for the elements that change their oxidation number, and
later count the number of electrons that changed,
later identify which element oxidazes and which reduces and
finally cross the number of electrons that change in each semireaction and write these numbers in the main reaction.
2Cr⁺³ (aq) + 6Cl⁻ (aq) ⇒ 2Cr(s) + 3Cl₂ (g)
2 Cr 2
6 Cl 6
Both mass and weight are measured by using scales.
