1. Salt is KNO₃<span>
<span>This is a </span>strong acid - strong base<span> <span>reaction. </span></span>HNO</span>₃ is the strong acid<span> <span>and </span></span>KOH is the strong
base<span>. </span><span>
H</span>⁺<span> in the HNO₃<span>
and </span></span>OH⁻<span> <span>of the KOH pair up and make </span></span>H₂O(l)<span>. </span><span>
NO</span>₃⁻<span> <span>and </span></span>K⁺<span> <span>pair up to make </span></span>KNO₃ salt<span>. </span><span>
<span>When writing chemical formulas </span>positive ion comes first<span> <span>and second
is negative ion. The charges should be switched. Since </span></span>positive ion has +1 and negative
ion has -1<span> <span>after
the switching off charges </span>the </span>product should be KNO</span>₃.<span>
Balance
equation is </span><span>

4. Salt is KCl<span>
</span>This is a strong acid - strong base<span> reaction. </span>HCl is the

<h2>Answer : Law of conservation of mass</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>
The law of conservation of mass states that in any reaction mass is neither created nor lost it has to remain constant in a system.
In this case, when the reaction setup was done in normal way the mass was lost in surrounding was not considered nor being calculated; whereas when the reaction was studied in a closed system where the gas was collected after the reaction the mass changes was noted down which helped to prove the point of law of conservation of mass and energy.
One can consider an example of soda can where the carbonated drink contains pressurized carbon dioxide gas. when opened the gas bubbles gets lost into the surroundings and we don't measure the mass changes. Instead if the soda can was opened in such a way where the gas evolved was measured then the mass changed would remain the same.
The answer is:
the volume stays the same. it is the pressure that increases
