<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.

Calculate the mass in grams of benzophenone required to make a solution of 2.5 mmoles
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

0.46 grams (C₆H₅)₂CO

Explanation:

To find the mass of benzophenone ((C₆H₅)₂CO), you need to (1) convert mmoles to moles and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value (2.5 mmoles).

Molar Mass ((C₆H₅)₂CO): 13(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass ((C₆H₅)₂CO): 182.221 g/mol

2.5 mmoles (C₆H₅)₂CO               1 mole                  182.221 g
-----------------------------------  x  ------------------------  x  -------------------  =
                                                1,000 mmoles            1 mole

=  0.46 grams (C₆H₅)₂CO

The burning of magnesium is a highly exothermic reaction. How many kilojoules of heat are released when 0. 75 mol of Mg burn in
alexandr402 [8]

Taking into account the definition of enthalpy of a chemical reaction, the quantity of heat released when 0.75 moles of Mg are burned is 451.5 kJ.

<h3>Enthalpy of a chemical reaction</h3>

The enthalpy of a chemical reaction is known as the heat absorbed or released in a chemical reaction when it occurs at constant pressure. That is, the heat of reaction is the energy that is released or absorbed when chemicals are transformed into a chemical reaction.

The enthalpy is an extensive property, that is, it depends on the amount of matter present.

<h3>Heat released in this case</h3>

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

2 Mg(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO(s) + 1204 kJ

This equation indicates that when 2 moles of Mg reacts with 1 mole of O₂, 1204 kJ of heat is released.

When 0.75 moles of Mg are burned, then you can apply the following rule of three: if 2 moles of Mg releases 1204 kJ of heat, 0.75 moles of Mg releases how much heat?

heat=\frac{0.75 moles of Mgx1204 kJ}{2 moles of Mg}

<u><em>heat= 451.5 kJ</em></u>

Finally, the quantity of heat released when 0.75 moles of Mg are burned is 451.5 kJ.
