Answer:

B. The reaction produce a gas as a product.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of products because mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The total mass of the reactants is 7 grams. The total mass of the products and the beaker is 5 grams. This means that the mass of products is less than the mass of reactants.

The only plausible explanation for this is that the reaction produced a gaseous product which escaped because the system is an open system thereby leading to a  lesser measured mass of products since mass can not be created nor destroyed.

Balance the following reaction in KOH (under basic conditions). What are the coefficients in for C3H8O2 and KMnO4 in the balance
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of C_3H_8O_2=3

Coefficient of KMnO_4=8

Explanation:

We are given that  a reaction in which C_3H_8O_2 reacts with KMnO_4

We have to find the coefficient of each reactants in balanced reaction

3C_3H_8O_2(aq)+8KMnO_4(aq)\rightarrow 3C_3H_2O_4K_2(aq)+8MnO_2(aq)+2KOH+8H_2O

Coefficient is defined the constant  value multiplied with a reactant in a reaction.

Coefficient of C_3H_8O_2=3

Coefficient of KMnO_4=8

Coefficient of C_3H_2O_4K_2=3

Coefficient of MnO_2=8

Coefficient of H_2O=8

Coefficient of KOH=2

Hence, Coefficient of C_3H_8O_2=3 and coefficient of KMnO_4=8
