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>

Which statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is correct? (1 point)
iris [78.8K]

The true statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is; both are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

A basic law in science is called the law of conservation of mass. Its general statement is that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

Both in chemical and nuclear changes, mass is involved and in both cases, the law of conservation of mass strictly applies.

This means that for both chemical and nuclear changes; total mass before reaction must be equal to total mass after reaction.

Hence, both reactions are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

How many mL of a stock 50% (w/v) KNO3 solution are needed to prepare 250 mL of a 20% (w/v) KNO3 solution?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

100ml of a stock 50% KNO3 solutions are needed to prepare 250ml of a 20% KNO3 solution.

Explanation:

In the given question it is mentioned that

     S1=50%

      V2=250ml

      S2= 20%

We all know that

                     V1S1=V2S2

                     ∴V1=  V2×S2÷S1

                     ∴V1=  V2S2×1/S1

                      ∴V1= 250×20÷50

                       ∴V1= 100ml
