According to the law of conservation of mass, what is the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation?

A. the volume of the substances

B. the subscripts

C. the total mass of atoms

D. the coefficients

Answer:

A balanced equation demonstrates the conservation of mass by having the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.

Explanation:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. ... Use coefficients of products and reactants to balance the number of atoms of an element on both sides of a chemical equation.

Consider the balanced equation for the combustion of methane.

CH

4

+

2O

2

→

CO

2

+

2H

2

O


All balanced chemical equations must have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.


In this equation, we have 1

C

atom, 4

H

atoms, and 4

O

atoms on each side of the arrow.


The number of atoms does not change, so the total mass of all the atoms is the same before and after the reaction. Mass is conserved.


Here is a video that discusses the importance of balancing a chemical equation.

Answers:

1. 3-ethyl-3-methylheptane; 2. 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpentane; 3. hexa-2,4-diene.

Explanation:

<em>Structure 1 </em>

  1. Identify and name the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms (the main chain has 7 C; ∴ base name = heptane).
  2. Identify and name all the substituents [a 1C substituent (methyl) and a 2C substituent (methyl).
  3. Number the main chain from the end closest to a substituent.
  4. Identify the substituents by the number of the C atom on the main chain. Use hyphens between letters and numbers (3-methyl, 3-ethyl).
  5. Put the names of the substituents in alphabetical order in front of the base name with no spaces (3-ethyl-3-methylheptane)

<em>Structure 2</em>

  1. 5C. Base name = pentane
  2. Four methyl groups.
  3. Number from the left-hand end.
  4. If there is more than one substituent of the same type, identify each substituent by its locating number and use a multiplying prefix to show the number of each substituent. Use commas between numbers (2,2,3,3-tetramethyl).
  5. The name is 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpentane.

<em>Structure 3 </em>

  1. Identify and name the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms that passes through as many double bonds as possible. Drop the <em>-ne</em> ending of the alkane to get the root name <em>hexa-</em>.
  2. (No substituents).
  3. Number the main chain from the end closest to a double bond.
  4. If there is more than one double bond use a multiplying prefix to indicate the number of double bonds (two double bonds = diene) and use the smaller of the two numbers of the C=C atoms as the double bond locators (2,4-diene)
  5. Put the functional group name at the end of the root name (hexa-2,4-diene).

<em>Note</em>: The name 2,4-hexadiene is <em>acceptable</em>, but the <em>Preferred IUPAC Name</em> puts the locating numbers as close as possible in front of the groups they locate.

Is FeS iron (ll) sulfide or iron (lll) sulfide?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

the valence of S is -2. For FeS to be neutral the valence of Fe used must be +2

and since Iron (II) has its valency 2, FeS will be Iron (II) Sulfide.

Why is carbon dioxide used in fire extinguisher?
rjkz [21]
As Fire needs oxygen to burn, Carbon Dioxide Covers the fire like an blanket and cuts the contact of fire to the oxygen present in the air, So Fire stops burning.That is why Carbon Dioxide is Considere as the best Fire Extinguisher.
