Apply the Law of Conservation of Mass to the following problem: During a combustion reaction, 12.2 grams of methane reacts with

14 g of oxygen. The reaction produces carbon dioxide and water. If 20 grams of water are produced, how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced?

Answer:

5.8 g of carbon dioxide are produced

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products in all chemical reactions.

This is the chemical reaction (combustion)

 CH₄     +   2O₂    →    CO₂   +    2H₂O

12.2 g        14 g             x             20g

Mass in reactants = 12.2 g + 14 g = 26.2 g

Mass in products =  x + 20 g

26.2 g = x + 20g

26.2 g - 20g = x

5.8 g = x

On the table below, record your observations before and after the interactions and note if mass was conserved. Describe the chan

Steel Wool + Oxygen (Fire)  The steel wool is a grayish color and has a rough surface. Oxygen is transparent  It looks like a powder, and like if it was rusted steel wool but then broken apart and turned into a powder  Well Iron oxide is 7 grams and steel wool combined is 7 grams so you can say that the mass was conserved  Yes, this is a chemical change because the steel wool rusted and rust is a chemical change, so iron oxide is cause because if a physical change.

Egg + Heat  The egg has a yellow yolk in the middle while there is some type of liquid at the border of the yolk, but it is clear, the heat is hot but transparent  The egg turned into a delicious food called an omelet what was yolk staid as a liquid but got a tad harder, but the transparent border around it turned white  It was conserved because the eggshell was 4 grams and the fried egg is 41 grams  It is a chemical change because it results in the formation of new particles, and the chemical bonds break up and new ones are formed.

Water + Heat  The water is a clear liquid, while the heat is very hot but transparent  The water turned into a type of oxygen -Water Vapor-   If 5 g of water becomes a gas it becomes 5 g of water vapor. The mass of the liquid water is simply transferred into the mass of the newly formed water vapor.  There was no chemical reaction because the water vapor can be turned back to water also it just changed from a liquid to a gas and did not change its composition  

Zinc + Hydrogen Chloride  Zinc: a white/silver metallic solid. Hydrogen chloride (dilute hydroelectric acid) a transparent, colorless liquid with a very low pH (acidic). Zinc "dissolved" in hydrogen chloride, while emitting a colorless gas.  The liquid remains a colorless liquid, possibly still having a low pH from the unused acid. The colorless gas collected in a test tube gives a popping sound when ignited with a burning wooden splint, so it is not air embedded in the zinc, nor dissolved in hydroelectric acid.  Well although the zinc chloride is 12 grams and not 15 the gas that was released was 3 grams and as we all know 3 + 12 is 15 so you could say that the mass was conserved The production of a new substance (most probably hydrogen) from the reaction of the two reactants. When a few drops of the liquid product are evaporated on a watch glass, a white residue is left.  When a few drops of the liquid hydroelectric acid are evaporated on a watch glass, there is no residue. This proves that a new product (hydrogen gas), (white powder, zinc chloride) is produced instead of zinc being physically dissolved in hydroelectric acid.

Sodium Hydroxide + Copper Sulfate  Sodium hydroxide is a turbid solution and copper sulfate is in form of bright blue crystals. When their solutions are mixed with each other, a pale blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulfate will be formed. The sodium hydroxide and the copper sulfate combined make a total of 67 grams and the product  is split because the sodium sulfate is 47 grams and the copper hydroxide is 20 grams but all together it is still 67 grams so you could say that the mass was conserved The proof of the reaction is the appearance of pale blue precipitates of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulfate.

When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the_______
Len [333]

Answer:

Atmosphere.

Explanation:

Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.
