The law of conversion states that mass is never created or destroyed. Explain how this law requires all chemical equations to be

balanced.

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter as applied to chemical reactions says that matter is neither created nor distroyed, only changed in form. This implies that the mass of substances going into a reaction process must equal the mass of products generated during the reaction process.

Empirically,

∑ mass reactants = ∑ mass products

One can test this idea after balancing a chemical equation by determining the sum of formula weights of reactants and products; then compare. If reaction was properly balanced, the total mass reactants = total mass of products.

Example:

Combustion of Methane =>  CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g)   =>  CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Equation Weights =>             16amu + 64amu <=> 44amu +  36amu

Mass Reactants = Mass Products  => 80amu <=> 80amu.

*amu = atomic mass units => sum of atomic weights of elements

Which shows the formula for an Organic acid
tresset_1 [31]
Answer:
            The formula of Organic acid is as follow,

                                                 R-COOH

Explanation:
                   The class of organic acids is called Carboxylic Acids. In above general structure, R is alkyl group and can vary. While -COOH is the functional group. 
                    Carboxylic Acids has the tendency to loose protons and their pKa value depends upon the alkyl group. For example the pKa value of Acetic acid (R = -CH₃) is 4.7. The driving force for this acidity is the stability of carboxylate (conjugate base) due resonance. i.e

                               RCOOH     ⇄    RCOO⁻  +  H⁺
Where;
            RCOO⁻  =  Carboxylate Ion (Conjugate base)

A student weighed out a 2.055 g sample of a cobalt chloride hydrate, ConClmpH2O, where n, m, and p are integer values to be dete
topjm [15]

The given mass of cobalt chloride hydrate = 2.055 g

A sample of cobalt chloride hydrate was heated to drive off waters of hydration and the anhydrate was weighed.

The mass of anhydrous cobalt chloride = 1.121 g anhydrate.

The mass of water lost during heating = 2.055 g - 1.121 g = 0.934 g

Converting mass of water of hydration present in the hydrate to moles using molar mass:

Mass of water = 0.934 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.934 g * \frac{1 molH_{2}O }{18 g H_{2}O } =0.0519 mol H_{2}O
