Use the conservation of mass to explain why a rusty nail weighs more than the original nail.

Chemistry

cricket20 [7]3 years ago

<h3><u>Answer and Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air.
  • When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.
  • Rusty iron weighs more because the iron reacts with oxygen in the air to form oxides which are solids which appear to grow on the iron as more oxygen comes along.

The gas in an aerosol can is at a pressure of 3.16 atm at 32.2°C. What would the gas pressure in the can be at 22.9°C?
olasank [31]

Answer:

The pressure of the gas would be 3.06 atm

Explanation:

Amonton's law states that the pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of a gas under constant volume. The equation is:

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

<em>Where P1 is the initial pressure = 3.16atm</em>

<em>T1 is initial absolute temperature = 273.15 + 32.2°C = 305.35K</em>

<em>P2 is our incognite</em>

<em>And T2 is = 273.15 + 22.9°C = 296.05K</em>

<em />

Replacing:

3.16atm / 305.35K = P2 / 296.05K

3.06 atm = P2

<h3>The pressure of the gas would be 3.06 atm</h3>

When writing equations the mass on the left of the arrow must
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

When writing equation the mass on left side of equation must be equal to the mass on right side. True

Explanation:

The chemical reactions always follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass because total mass is equal on both side of equation.
