3 0

The law of conservation of mass says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. This means that when a chemical reaction happens, you can never create new atoms or destroy the ones that are reacting, they simply rearrange themselves into new substances.

For purposes of looking at chemical equations, this means that the equation that describes the reaction has to be "balanced". In other words, there must be the same number and same kind of atoms on the reactant side of the equation as there are on the product side to ensure that no atoms are created or lost during the reaction.

Meteorologists use weather balloons to carry weather instruments high into the atmosphere. When it is first released at Earth’s

inessss [21]

The pressure of the gas used in the weather balloon increases to expand the balloon.

Explanation:

Weather balloons contain the boxes where the weather measurement instruments are present that is attached to the large balloon.
Weather balloon uses gases like Hydrogen or Helium. When the weather balloon rises to the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases. This leads to the increase in the pressure of hydrogen or Helium gas used in the weather balloon. This expands the balloon.
The gas particles hits the balloon container and generates the pressure. The increase of pressure thus helps the weather balloon to move in a constant speed through the atmosphere.

What purpose do each of the following play in the isolation and purification of ethyl 3- hydroxybutanoate?

Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

-Filter help — delete some big unreacted, undesirable species (norit is probably from what you are sorting through, its only carbon which cleans up things)

— extract with DCM because you are probably in an aqueous phase, and some butanoate is in it

- Anhydrous sodium absorbs excess of water (dries the material)

-evaporation in the hood to clear the DCM and crystallize the product.
