Answer: Law of conservation of mass explains these observations.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.
In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.
Mass of reactants= mass of Mg+ mass of 
= 48 g + 32 g = 80 g
Mass of products = mass of 
= 80 g
Thus mass of reactants is equal to mass of products, thus law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
Answer:
Conceptual energy modeling does not produce the same accurate results as energy modeling with building elements
Mg + 2 HCl ------> MgCl₂ +H₂O
The reaction is
<span>Zn (s) + 2 HCl (aq) ----> ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
which is already balanced
5.4 L of 2.8 M HCl contains
5.4 L (2.8 M) = 15.12 moles HCl
The amount of Zinc that will react completely with the acid is
15.12 mol HCl (1 mol Zn / 2 mol HCl) (65 g Zn/1 mol Zn) = 491.4 g Zn

The logarithm from my understanding can never be negative. You can check this on a calculator. You may have a negative if it is shown as -(log x).
