<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is reacting 12 g of C with 32 g of O_2 to form 44 g of CO_2 and unused reactants.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it can only be transformed from one form to another. The total mass in the reaction remains constant.

From the given options:

  • 1. Reacting 12 g of C with 32 g of O_2 to form 44 g of CO_2 and unused reactants

The equation for this is given by:

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

Mass on the reactant side = (12 + 32)g = 44 g

Mass on the product side = 44 g

Hence, this equation follows Law of Conservation of mass.

  • 2. Weighing 100 g of Cu powder and 100 g of Fe filings

As, there is no equation formed, so there will be no chemical reaction and will not follow, law of conservation of mass.

  • 3. Heating 100 g of CaCO_3 to produce 56 g of CaO

The equation for this is given by:

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

Mass on the reactant side = 100 g

Mass on the product side = (56 + 0)g = 56g

Hence, this equation does not follow Law of Conservation of mass.

  • 4. Dissolving 10 g of NaCl in 100 g of water

As, salt is getting dissolved in water and hence, it is a physical change and will not follow law of conservation of mass.

Therefore, the correct statement is reacting 12 g of C with 32 g of O_2 to form 44 g of CO_2 and unused reactants.

The  laboratory  procedure that best  illustrate the law of conservation  is

heating 100 g of CaCo3  to produce  56 g of CaO  (answer C)

<u><em>explanation</em></u>

According to the law  of mass conservation ,  the mass of the  reactant  must   be equal  to the mass  of the product.

 According  to  option c Heating  100 g CaCO3  to produces  56 g CaO  (  40 +16=56)

The remaining mass  = 100-56  =  44  which  would the mass of CO2  [  12 + (16 x2)]= 44   since  CaCO3  decomposes to produce CaO  and  CO2


Therefore  the  mass  of reactant=   100g

                       mass  of product =  56 g +44 g =100

Therefore the laboratory    procedure for  decomposition  of CaCO<em>3</em>  illustrate the law of mass  conservation since the mass of reactant = mass of product.

15 grams of HCl should theoretically produce 0.42 grams of H2. The reaction actually produced 0.15 grams of H2. What is the perc
Helen [10]

Answer:

35.7%

Explanation:

The percent yield is calculated by the formula:

<em>[(actual yield) / (theoretical yield)] * 100</em>

In this case, the actual yield is 0.15 grams, and the theoretical yield is 0.42 grams. So, putting these values into the equation, we have:

\frac{0.15}{0.42} *100=0.357*100=35.7

Thus, the percent yield of H_2 is 35.7%.

Hope this helps!

Compare and contrast the two kinds of chemical bonds (ionic and covalent)
attashe74 [19]
An Ionic bond is when you have a metal and a nonmetal element bonded together. In this kind of bonds, the metal atom takes electrons from the nonmetal. on other words, this bond involves the gaining and losing of electrons. The atom that receives the electrons becomes an anion (negatively charged ion) and the one that loses them becomes the cation (positively charged ion)

A covalent bond is a bond created between two nonmetals element. In here, both atoms share the electrons.

Both bonds involve interaction between atoms.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

I would not accept it.

Explanation:

Although it is tempting to accept the janitor's offer and save the scholarship, which is not easy to get, I would not accept his offer, as I do not believe in victories based on dishonesty and would be heavy on conscience if I did the opposite. Obviously, I would not like to lose my scholarship and for that reason, I would look for other ways that would be honest and help me improve my grade. If I could not improve and lose the scholarship, I would be extremely sad, but I would be at peace with my conscience.
