<u>Answer:</u> In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the particles in the system stays the same

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.  

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side in a chemical reaction.

Every balanced chemical reaction follows law of conservation of mass.

<u>For Example:</u> Formation of water molecule

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Total mass on reactant side = [2(2\times 1)+(2\times 16)]=36g/mol

Total mass on product side = [2((2\times 1)+16)]=36g/mol

Hence, in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the particles in the system stays the same

How many grams of water will be produced from 50 g hydrogen reacting with 50 g oxygen?
DanielleElmas [232]

We need to first come up with a balanced equation:


4H+O_{2} → 2H_{2}O


We know that the molar ratio of hydrogen to oxygen to water now is 4:1:2.


Converting the amount of grams given to moles is as follows:


Hydrogen: \frac{1mole}{1.008g}*50g=49.6mol


Oxygen: \frac{1mole}{15.999g}*50g=3.125mol


We know now that the limiting reactant is oxygen. We can then know that the number of moles of water are produced are double the number of moles of oxygen used due to the ratio that we established at the beginning - 4:1:2.


So we now can use 6.25 moles of water as the amount produced.


Then we convert moles of water to grams:


\frac{18.015g}{1mole} *6.25mol=112.59g


Now we know that there are 112.59g of water produced when we start with 50g of hydrogen and 50g of water.

A sample of the chiral molecule limonene is 62% enantiopure. what percentage of each enantiomer is present? what is the percent
ikadub [295]

The mixture contains 62 % one isomer and 38 % the enantiomer.

Let’s say that the mixture contains 62 % of the (<em>R</em>)-isomer.

Then % (<em>S</em>) = 100 % -62 % = 38 %

ee = %  (<em>R</em>) - % (<em>S</em>) = 62 % -38 % = 24 %
