How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: Mg + HCl > H2 + MgCl2 ?​

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Chemical equation:

Mg + HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 36.5 g = 2 g+ 95 g

60.5 g = 97 g

The reaction does not hold the law of conservation of mass, because it is not balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 73 g = 2 g+ 95 g

97 g = 97 g

this equation completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

How does burning affect an object's property? Burning can cause an object to increase in volume. Burning changes the chemical ma
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: Burning changes the chemical make up of an object.

Explanation:

A chemical change can be defined as a change in the substance when it combines with other kind of substance to form a new substance. A chemical change can also occur when a substance is broken down into two or more products. These changes cannot be reversed. These changes affect the physical make up of an object. For example, burning as when an object is burned it cannot be transformed into its original form. A wood if burned can be converted into ash, water and carbon dioxide cannot regain its original form after burning so burning brings about chemical change in an object.

Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO4 ·5 H2O, (molar mass 250 g/mol) can be dehydrated by repeated heating in a crucible. Which
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The water lost is 36% of the total mass of the hydrate

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Molar mass of CuSO4*5H2O = 250 g/mol

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 160 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of water lost

Mass of water lost = 250 - 160 = 90 grams

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate % water

% water = (mass water / total mass of hydrate)*100 %

% water = (90 grams / 250 grams )*100% = 36 %

We can control this by the following equation

The hydrate has 5 moles of H2O

5*18. = 90 grams

(90/250)*100% = 36%

(160/250)*100% = 64 %

The water lost is 36% of the total mass of the hydrate

Calculate the Molarity when a 6.11 mL solution of 0.1 H2SO4 is diluted with 105.12 mL of water
barxatty [35]

Molarity after dilution : 0.0058 M

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The number of moles before and after dilution is the same  

The dilution formula

 M₁V₁=M₂V₂

M₁ = Molarity of the solution before dilution  

V₁ = volume of the solution before dilution  

M₂ = Molarity of the solution after dilution  

V₂ = Molarity volume of the solution after dilution

M₁=0.1 M

V₁=6.11

V₂=105.12

\tt M_2=\dfrac{M_1.V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{0.1\times 6.11}{105.12}=0.0058~M
