Well, according to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reacting atoms must equal the total mass of the final rearranged products produced through the reaction. Assuming that both products are the only products produced, it would constitute the total matter produced, and since each product has a mass of 25 grams each. The total would be 50 grams. Thus the total mass of the reactants also would need to be 50 grams, as no matter is lost in a chemical reaction.
Answer:
The sum of potential energy and macroscopic kinetic energy is called mechanical energy and stays constant for a system when there are only conservative forces (no non-conservative forces). The more mass a moving object has, the more kinetic energy it will possess at the same speed.

Answer:
Unbalanced
Explanation:
The balanced equation would be:
C3H8 + <u> 5 </u>O2 ---> <u> 4 </u>H2O + <u> 3 </u>CO2
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A diatomic element in that list is Bromine
Interesting problem. Thanks for posting.
C2H2 + (3/2)02 ====> H2O + 2CO2
CH4 + 2O2 =====> 2H2O + CO2
The molar mass of C2H2 = 2*12 + 2*1 = 26
The molar mass of CH4 = 1*12 + 4*1 = 16
The number of moles of C2H2 = x
The number of moles of CH4 = y
26x + 16y = 230.9 grams
For water we get (from the C2H2). Water has a molar mass of 2*1 + 16 = 18
x*18 See the balanced equation to see what it is the same number of moles as C2H2
From the methane we get
y*18
2*y* 18. Again see the balanced equation to see where that 2 came from.
18x + 36y is the total amount of water.
Now for the CO2. CO2 has a molar mass of 12 + 2*16 = 44
From C2H2 we get 2*44*x = 88x grams of CO2
From CH4 we get 1*y*44 grams of CO2
88x + 44y for CO2
Now we total to get the grand total of water and CO2
18x + 44y + 88x + 44y = 972.7 grams total.
106x + 88y = 972.7
Two equations, two unknowns, we should be able to solve this problem
26x + 16y = 230.9
106x + 88y = 972.7
I'm not going to go through the math unless you request me to do so.
x = 8.03 moles
y = 1.38 moles
The initial amount of C2H2 was 8.03 * 26 = 208.78
The initial amount of CH4 was 16*1.38 = 22.08
The total (as a check is 230.86 which is pretty close to the given amount.
So Methane's mass in the initial givens was 22.08 grams.
