Mrs. Johnson's science class perform an experiment. They combine two substances that react with lots of fizzing and bubbling. Th

e class determines the mass of the substances before and after the experiment and find that the substances have less mass after the experiment. Hannah wants to know why the experiment didn't obey the law of conservation of mass, but Chris says it did. Who is right and why?
Hannah is right because the class may have made an error in determining the mass of the substances.


Chris is correct because the reactants and products do not have to have the same mass, but they do have to weigh the same.


Hannah is right because the mass of the reactants was different than the mass of the products.


Chris is right because some of the mass of the reactants escaped as gas.

Answer is: Chris is right because some of the mass of the reactants escaped as gas.

Conservation of mass (mass is never lost or gained in chemical reactions), during chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed, the atoms are rearranged from the reactants to the products.

Gas that escaped is probably carbon(IV) oxide, so the mass of product measured is less than reactants. If mass of gas is also measured, masses of reactants and products are the same.

Which types of reactions would result in a change in temperature?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Chemical reaction involves the breaking of bonds in the reactants and formation of bonds in the products. ... If a reaction is exothermic, more energy is released when the bonds of the products are formed than it takes to break the bonds of the reactants. This is the reason for temperature change during a reaction.

Explanation:

Here are just a few everyday demonstrations that temperature changes the rate of chemical reaction: Cookies bake faster at higher temperatures. Bread dough rises more quickly in a warm place than in a cool one.

The number of molecules of nitrogen, n2, found in 500.0 g of nitrogen gas is?
8_murik_8 [283]
The molar mass of monotonic Nitrogen is 14 g/mol. Since this is diatomic Nitrogen, double that to 28 g/mol.
Next, divide total mass by molar mass, 500 g / 28 g/mol, which gives <span>17.8571 moles. A mole is defined as being 6.022*10^23 molecules, so multiply moles by molecules/mol (Avogadro's number), and we finally end up with something like 1.075 * 10^25, give or take a few billion particles.</span>
