Answer:

The mass of the reactants compared with the mass of the products should be the same if the reactants are in stoichiometric amounts.

Explanation:

In this question, they ask about chemical reactions and the comparison of the mass of reactants and products. Firstly, it is necessary to introduce the mass conservation principle.

Mass conservation principle mentions that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products (if the reaction is fully developed). It means mass is not created or destroyed, only transforms from reactants to products.

For example, the mass of sodium plus the mass of chlorine that reactswith the sodium equals the mass of the product sodium chloride.Because atoms are only rearranged in a chemical reaction, there mustbe the same number of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms in both thereactants and products.

Finally, we can conclude that The mass of the reactants compared with the mass of the products should be the same if the reactants are in stoichiometric amounts.

Isotopes that decay with a nuclear break-up and emit a significant amount of energy are said to be ________.
podryga [215]

Answer to this is Radioactive isotopes.

Isotopes are the species of the same element having different atomic masses that means the number of protons remains the same but number of neutrons do differ. For example _{1}^{2}\textrm{H} and _{1}^{3}\textrm{H} are the two isotopes of Hydrogen (_{1}^{1}\textrm{H} ).

Radioactive isotopes are the isotopes which release some kind of energy in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma radiation. Examples of each of the decay processes are :

Alpha Decay: In this decay one alpha particle having atomic mass 4 and atomic number 2 or we can say a He molecule will come out. _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_{2}^{4}\alpha

Beta Decay: In this decay a \beta particle is emitted increasing the atomic number of the reactant by 1 unit.

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^{0}\beta

Gamma Radiation: In this type of reaction only radiation is emitted out which does not change the original molecule.

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}+\gamma\text{ radiation}

Do the chemical bonds between atoms change during cellular respiration?
borishaifa [10]
During cellular respiration, the carbon and hydrogen atoms change partners and bond with oxygen atoms instead. The carbon-hydrogen bonds are replaced by carbon-oxygen and hydrogen-oxygen bonds. As the electrons of these bonds "fall" toward oxygen, energy is released.
