Which of the following does NOT show the law of conservation of mass?

Chemistry

FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago

The correct option is \boxed{\mathbf{B}}  

Further explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. For example, when wood burns, the mass of the ashes, and gases, equals the original mass of the charcoal and the oxygen on reaction. In this the mass of the product equals the mass of the reactant.  

When two or more elements chemically interact to make a new substance are called reactant and the new substance that is formed as the result of a chemical reaction is called product. Mass and matter may not be created or destroyed, but it can change forms to other substances like liquids, gasses, solids.

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

{\text{Mass of product}} = {\text{Mass of reactant}}

 

A)

In this the reactant Mg and oxygen reacts to form product MgO. {\text{Mass of MgO}} = {\text{mass of Mg}} + {\text{mass of oxygen}}…… (1)

Mass of Mg is 24g.

Mass of oxygen is 32g.

Mass of product (MgO) is 56 g.

Substitute these values in equation (1)

\begin{aligned}{\text{56 g}}&= {\text{24 g}} + {\text{32 g}}\\{\text{56 g}}&= {\text{56 g}}\\\end{aligned}  

Hence, it follows law of conservation of mass. Therefore, option a is incorrect.

B)

In this 24 mL of Mg burn in 32 mL of oxygen and produces 56 mL of MgO. Volumes cannot be added as there is variation in volume when different substances are added. So, the reactant is not equal to the product.It does not show the law of conservation of mass. Hence, option b is correct.

C)

In this 2 atoms of Mg reacts with 1 oxygen atom to form 2 unit of MgO.

The chemical reaction that shows production of MgO is as follows:

{\text{2Mg}} + {{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}} \to {\text{2 MgO}}

Number of Mg atom is 2

Number of Oxygen atom is 2.

Number of MgO atom is 2.

The above reaction is balanced as number of atom in reactant is equal to number of atom in product. It follows law of conservation of mass. Hence, option c is incorrect.

D)

In this 1 atom of Mg react with 1 atom of O to produce 1 unit MgO.The number of atom of reactants and product are equals as MgO contains two atoms.It follows law of conservation of mass. Hence, option d is incorrect.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B.  <span>24 mL of Mg burn in 32 mL O2 to produce 56 mL of MgO </span>does not show the law of conservation of mass. Volumes cannot be added because there are volume effects when you add different substances. So, the reactants is not equal to the product.

How can mechanical waves help in the treatment of cancer?
Andreas93 [3]

Mechanical waves can help in the treatment of cancer due to heat generated by the high frequency waves.

<h3>What is mechanical wave?</h3>

A mechanical wave is a wave that requires material medium for its propagation, example include;

  • water waves,
  • sound waves, and
  • seismic waves.

<h3> Mechanical waves in treatment of cancers</h3>

Sound wave in example of mechanical wave because it requires material medium for its propagation.

High-frequency sound waves (HIFU) is used in the  treatment  of cancer because the strong beam generates heat which is directed to a specific part of a cancer.

The heat generated destroys the cancer cells.

Thus, mechanical waves can help in the treatment of cancer due to heat generated by the high frequency waves.

C2H4(g) + H2(g) → C2H6(g) ΔH = –137.5 kJ; ΔS = –120.5 J/K Calculate ΔG at 25 °C and determine whether the reaction is spontaneou
Katen [24]

Answer:-ΔG=-101.5KJ

Explanation:We have to calculate ΔG for the reaction  so using the formula given in the equation we can calculate the \Delta G for the reaction.

We need to convert the unit ofΔS in terms of KJ/Kelvin as its value is given in terms of J/Kelvin

Also we need to convert the temperature in Kelvin as it is given in degree celsius.

\Delta H=-137.5\\ \Delta S=-120J/K\\ \Delta S=-0.120KJ/K\\ T=25^{.C}\\ T=273+25=298 K\\ \Delta G=?\\ \Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\Delta G=-137.5KJ-(278\times -0.120)\\ \Delta G=-137.5+35.76\\\Delta G=-101.74\\\Delta G=Negative

After calculating forΔG we found that the value ofΔG is negative and its value is -101.74KJ

 For a  reaction to be spontaneous the value of \Delta G \ must be negative .

As the ΔG for the given reaction is is negative so the reaction will be spontaneous in nature.

In this reaction since the entropy of reaction is positive and hence when we increase the temperature term then the overall term TΔS would become more positive  and hence the value of ΔG would be less negative .

Hence the value of ΔG  would become more positive with the increase in temperature.

So we found the value of ΔG to be -101.74KJ

Which elements have the most similar chemical properties?
Mumz [18]

Answer: K and Na

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium have a chemical symbol of K and Na respectively.

They have similar chemical properties because both

- have only one valence electron,

- form univalent positive ion when they donate their lone outermost electron as shown below

Na --> Na+ + e-

K --> K+ + e-

- are good reducing agents

- react with cold water vigorously to liberate hydrogen gas and form alkalis, so they are known as alkali metals.

- K and Na are placed in Group 1 of the periodic table.

Thus, unlike the other pairs given, K and Na, have the most similar chemical properties
