Answer:

Balancing chemical reactions is consistent with Lavoisier's law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction happens, involves the exchange of electrons between the different elements inside the compounds that participate in the reaction.

But the elements themselves (that form the compounds) are not affected , so the elements that are after the reaction should be the same ones that before it happens.

Therefore the total mass of an element (sum of the mass of all the atoms of an element that appears before the reaction) should be the same as the total mass of the element after the reaction. And this should be true for each element.

Lets take this example of a balanced chemical reaction

N_{2}+ 3H_{2} -> 2NH_{3}

the number of N atoms at the beggining is 2 ( 2 N atoms attached to themselves) and after the reaction are 2 N also ( each one bonded to an ammonia molecule)

The same should happen with H : 3 gas molecules x 2 atoms of H per gas molecule (H2) = 6 and after the reaction 2 ammonia molecules x 3 atoms of H per ammounia molecule = 6

The equation is balanced only when all the elements are balanced

Note: Strictly speaking, the sum of energy and mass is conserved. But the correction is so insignificant for chemical reactions that in the majority of cases is not taken into account.

Consider the reversible reaction.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The concentrations of both PCl₅ and PCl₃ are changing at equilibrium

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium during a reversible chemical reaction, is characterised by an equal rate of forward reaction and backward reaction. It is better described as dynamic equilibrium.

This is because, the concentration of the elements and compounds involved in the reversible chemical reaction at equilibrium changes, but the rate of change of the reactants is always equal to the rate of change of products.

Hence, the concentration of reactants and products, such as PCl₅ and PCl₃ are allowed to change at equilibrium, but alas, the rate of forward reaction must always match the rate of backward reaction for the process to remain in a state of Chemical equilibrium.

Hope this Helps!!!

Lithium reacts spontaneously with bromine to produce lithium bromide. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. (Us
Stels [109]
The reaction equation is:
Li + Br → LiBr

39 grams of Li = 39 / 7 = 5.57 moles of lithium
41.5 grams of Br = 41.5 / 80 = 0.52 mole of bromine
