Chemistry
1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

Oxidation of ammonia

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NH₃ + O₂ → NO + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

The given reaction shows the oxidation ammonia. When oxygen react with ammonia it form nitrogen monoxide and water vapors. Nitrogen monoxide decomposes in air.

It can be seen that the given reaction also follow the law of conservation of mass. There are four nitrogen, ten oxygen and twelve hydrogen atoms on both side of equation.

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

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.

Which chemical equation shows that the total mass during a chemical reaction stays the same?
k0ka [10]

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.
