Chemical equations must always balance due to the principles outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter. This scientific law states that matter cannot be created out of nothing nor can it be destroyed.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Law of conservation of mass state that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.  Also chemical reaction of the sum is outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical reaction the sum of the masses of the products will be equal to the sum of the masses of the reactants. <em>Thus a chemical reaction conserves the total mass.</em> For this law to be valid the system where the reactions take place should be closed.

It has to be properly ensured that there is no transfer of energy or mass between the system and its outer environment. <em>If that happens the sum of masses of products differs from that of the reactants due to the gain or loss of matter to surroundings.  </em>

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

From Top to Bottom:

- Democritus coming up with the concept of an atom

- Dalton discovering that atoms are the smallest part of an element

- Rutherford discovering the nucleus of an atom

- Thomson discovering electrons

- Bohr modeling electrons orbiting the nucleus

- Schrodinger modeling electrons in the electron cloud

Explanation:

The best way to think about this is from the inside out. Democrats (who lived long before any of the other scientists mentioned) was the one who thought of the idea of the atom. - Therefore, this must be first because all other choices are elaborations on the idea that atoms exist. Next must be Dalton. Dalton saw atoms as "cannonballs" if you will; a solid mass. So then after that, Rutherford and his gold foil experiment (he discovered that some rays he shot through gold foil were deflected back; ie the existence of concentrated areas in an atom, ie the nucleus). Then we get into the information on electrons. We must start with discovery (Thomson). Heres where it gets complicated. Electrons don't <em>actually </em>orbit the nucleus, they exist in electron clouds. So it would be Bohr, who came up with the idea that electron exist outside the nucleus, then Schrodinger, who elaborated on Bohr's theory. Hope this helps!

The reaction of 5.40 g of carbon with excess O2 yields 13.6 g of CO2. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
vazorg [7]
C + O2= CO2
n  =  \frac{m}{mw}
n =  \frac{5.4}{12}  \\ n  = 0.45 \: mol \: of \: carbon
n =  \frac{13.6}{12 + 16 \times 2} \\ n =  \frac{13.6}{44}  \\ n = 0.31 \: mol \: of \: carbon \: dioxide
CO2 is limit
5.4-3.72= 1.68 g of C is excess
5.4 g = 100%
3.72 g = x
x=68.9 %
