Answer:

The mass of reactants and products are equal hence the reaction obeys law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The law of mass conservation states that for a closed system to all transfer of mass, the mass of system must remain constant over time. This means for a chemical reaction, the mass of reactants must equal the mass of products.

if 2.796g of Zn reacts with 2.414g of sulphur to produce 4.169g of ZnS ad 1.041g of unreacted sulphur, then it means that accorfing to the law of mass conservation, the mass of reactants (zinc and sulphur), must be equal to mass of products (zinc sulfide and unreacted sulphur)

Mass of reactants = 2.796g + 2.414g =5.21g

Mass of products = 4.169g + 1.041g=5.21g

What is the formula for CO3 2- and Al3+ ?
Goryan [66]

Answer is: formula is Al₂(CO₃)₃.

Aluminium carbonate (Al₂(CO₃)₃) has neutral charge. Because aluminium cation has positive charge 3+ and carbonate anion has negative charge 2-, for right chemical formula, we need two aluminium cations and three carbonate anion:

charge of the molecule = 2 · (3+) + 3 · (-2).

charge of the molecule = 0.

Sodium aton has lower electron affinity than chlorine atom why
Citrus2011 [14]
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.
