According to the law of conservation of matter, what number must be the same on each side of a chemical equation?

Answer:

4. The number of atoms of each element

Explanation:

<em><u>Why is 1 wrong?</u></em>

The number of substances (i.e. number of mols of substances) do not have to be the same. For instance, 2 mol of water reacts with 1 mol of oxygen to form 2 mol of water. Obviously the numer of substances is not conserved. Thus, it isn't a requirement.

<em><u>Why is 2 wrong?</u></em>

The number of chemical symbols do not mean anything. They do not tell us anything about the quantity of matter, they only tell us about the elements that are involved in the reaction.

<em><u>Why is 3 wrong?</u></em>

Once again, the number of chemical formulas are meaningless.

<u><em>Why is 4 correct?</em></u>

The number of atoms are always conserved as atoms cannot be broken or created.

<em><u>Possible confusion...</u></em>

The number of atoms are always conserved but the number of molecules may not always be conserved.

Why? As 2 atoms may be a molecule on the reactant side and 4 atoms may become a molecule on the product size, causing the number of molecules to reduce by half, while the number of atoms remain constant.

Hope that makes sense!

Given that the efficiency of heating your room is roughly 35%, what mass of natural gas is actually necessary to heat your room
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Mass of natural gas needed to heat the room is 350,000BTUs

Explanation:

The heating efficiency of a furnace is never 100% because not all energy is released and not all heat is available to heat the place. A lesser efficiency requires more consumption of fuel. Heating values are used for heating fuels in order to calculate the mass of fuel needed.

The heating value of natural gas is 1,000,000BTUs

Therefore the formular for calculating mass of natural gas needed= Heating value of natural gas×efficiency.

Mass=1,000,000×0.35

Mass=350,000BTUs

Present Your Findings
Finger [1]

This question would be a piece o' cake, except that we don't know your observations, your data, or your conclusions.

We also don't know the first method, the second method, the accuracy of either method, the displacement method, or what you found out from this investigation.

Otherwise, like I said, this is really no problem.

3. For a constant launch speed, what angle produces the same range
iragen [17]

Answer:

A) 60 degrees B) 75 degrees

Explanation:

You use complementary angles to solve this. A complementary angle is when two angles add up to 90 degrees. For A), it says that the angle is 30 degrees. So you can do 90 minus 30 and you get 60. For B), it’s says the angle is 15 degrees. So you do 90 minus 15 and you get 75 degrees.

What is the potential difference between the plates of a 4.6-F capacitor that stores sufficient energy to operate a 75.0-W light
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

44.2v

Explanation:

The energy stored in capacitor, which is equal to energy required to operate a 75W bulb for one minute (60s) is

Energy = Pt =(75W)(60s) = 4500J

Solving equation energy = 1/2CV^2 for V we get

V = √2(Energy)/C

V = √2(4500J)/4.6F = 44.2V
