<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

if 15 mol C is mixed with 10 mol O2 which reactant is the limiting reactant? Which reactant would be the excess reactant?
ioda

Answer:

C is the excess reactant.

Explanation:

Reaction is C + O2 --> CO2

1mol of C required to react with 1mol O2

Therefore 15 - 10 = 5moles of C will be in excess

Can gravity be considered a force? Explain your reasoning
bija089 [108]

Answer:

I think that gravity can be considered a force.

Explanation:

As the object falls, it moves faster and faster. Gravity is considered a universal force because it acts between any two masses anywhere in the universe. For example, there is a gravitational pull between the Sun and the Moon. Even small masses attract one another.

Hope this helped! :)
