Explain how chemical reactions apply to law of conservation of matter

Chemistry

eimsori [14]3 years ago

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.

What is the correct balanced equation for the reaction of sodium with water?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

 A.    2Na       +    2H₂O   →    2NaOH   +  H₂

When sodium is reacted with water, a single replacement reaction occurs. The product of the reaction is typically sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Reactants:

        Sodium +  water

Product:

        Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen gas
