A student is told that both energy and mass must be conserved in every chemical reaction. She measures the mass of Hydrochloric
salantis [7]

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.

katovenus [111]

Water combines with carbon dioxide to produce slightly acidic groundwater

that dissolves limestone and forms caves.

This is because the reaction between water and carbondioxide to form

bicarbonate ions( HCO₃⁻). The bicarbonate ions dissociate into Hydrogen

atoms thereby increasing the acidity.

The acidic environment results in the formation of acidic groundwater that

dissolves limestone and forms caves.
