Answer:

They represent it by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side is the same as the product side

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter stated that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Chemical equations involve combining atoms of elements. The compounds combined by chemists are called REACTANTS while the produced compounds are called PRODUCTS.

In order to conform to the law of conservation of matter, the same quantity of matter present in the reactants must be present in the products. This means that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side must be the same as the product side. For example;

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

In this chemical equation for photosynthesis, number of atoms in the reactant side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen) are the same as that in the product side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen), hence, this obeys the law of conservation of mass.

In a nutshell, chemists chemists properly represent the law of conservation of matter in their chemical equations by making sure that same number of atoms of reactants is present in the products.

A solution (HELP ASSAAAAP ROAD TO GRADUATION)
creativ13 [48]

Hey there! A simple explanation is below.

Answer:

D) is a single phase homogeneous mixture.

Explanation:

A solution is a form of homogenous combination made up of two or more components in chemistry. A solute is a material that is dissolved in another material, known as a solvent, in such a combination. The mixing of a solution takes place at a scale where the effects of chemical polarity are present, resulting in solvation-specific interactions. In most cases, the solution is in the condition of the solvent, because it is most common in the mixture.

What is the mass of 2.90 ×1022 molecules of NaOH (Molar mass = 40.0 g/mol)?
ivann1987 [24]
40.0 g ( 1 mole ) --------------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
      ? ? --------------------------- 2.90x10²² molecules

mass = 2.90x10²² * 40.0 /  6.02x10²³

mass = 1.16x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³

mass = 1.9269 g

hope this helps!

What color is the start of the rainbow?
zheka24 [161]

Rainbows go in the order of ROYGBIV, which is an acronym for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

So, it would start off with red.

If you want to know why it starts off the rainbow, its because red has the longest wavelength, compared to the rest of the colors. (sorry I'm rambling, I got excited)

Hope this helps.
