Answer : The combustion equation violates the law of conservation of matter is, (B) C_3H_8+6O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

Explanation :

According to the law of conservation of matter, the number of atoms of each elements of reactant side must be equal to the product side in the chemical reaction. Or we can say that the mass of reactant side must be equal to the mass of product side in the chemical reaction.

(A) CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

This combustion equation follow the law of conservation of matter.

(B) C_3H_8+6O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

This combustion equation does not follow the law of conservation of matter because in this reaction, the atoms of carbon and hydrogen elements are equal on both the sides but the atoms of oxygen element on reactant side are not equal to the product side.

(C) 2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O

This combustion equation follow the law of conservation of matter.

(D) 2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

This combustion equation follow the law of conservation of matter.

Hence, the combustion equation violates the law of conservation of matter is, equation (B)

B - C3H8 + 6O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O

THis is because Oxygen is not balanced on both sides, thus defying the law of conservation of matter.

On the reactants side of the equation, there are 12 Oxygen atoms, however, on the products side, there are only 10 Oxygen atoms.

Hope this helps!

How are Parkinson's disease and ALS similar?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Both diseases affect the control of voluntary muscles.

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disease that affects movement. It affects the nerve cells that produce dopamine in the part of the brain called substantia nigra. The symptoms include shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination. Symptoms get worse with time, often leaving people with difficulty walking and talking.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The first symptoms usually involve muscle weakness, and as the disease progresses, it results in the loss of muscle control.

Scientists don't know the exact cause of these diseases. As the cause is not known, there is no exact way to prevent them. There is no cure for them, either. The treatment is focused on the management of symptoms.

This is why the third option is the correct one.
