Answer:
Amount of salt needed is around 2.3*10³ g
Explanation:
The salt content in sea water = 3.5 %
This implies that there is 3.5 g salt in 100 g sea water
Density of seawater = 1.03 g/ml
Volume of seawater = volume of tank = 62.5 L = 62500 ml
Therefore, the amount of seawater required is:
The amount of salt needed for the calculated amount of seawater is:
Answer: (C) conservation of matter
Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.
A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.
For example:
Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol
Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol
Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol
Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol
As,
Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side
Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.
