Answer:
Explanation:
When we react Hydrochlorid Acid with zinc we have the following reaction:
2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
The hydrogen gas formed is lost to the environment, so we can affirme that in the start we have the mass for all the H, Cl and Zn atoms in the solution, but after the reaction occurs, we have only the mass for the Cl and Zn atoms.
That's why the mass is less than the original.
The law that the student was told is only applied to closed environments.
When an entire species perishes the species becomes extinct.
On the off chance that one of the reactants is in overabundance yet you don't know which one it is, you have to compute the hypothetical item mass for the both reactants, with a similar item, and whichever has the lower yield is the one you use to precisely depict masses/sums for the condition, since you can't have more than the non-abundance reactant can create.
