That is false. mass is converted into energy
This reaction does not exist since all of the reactants and products are aqueous.
Answer:
KBr dissolved in water.
Explanation:
A substance conducts electricity as a result of the presence of mobile ions in the substance.
An ionic substance such as KBr when dissolved in water releases free ions which become charge carriers in solution hence the solution conducts electricity. Solid ionic substances such as solid KBr and solid baking soda do not conduct electricity because the ions are strongly bound to each other in the crystal lattice.
Molecular substances such as sugar and alcohol do not conduct electricity even in solution.
The protons of methylene group between the two carbonyl groups in ethylacetoacetate are acidic in nature. When compounds containing such acidic protons are treated with bases the loose proton and form enolates.
In this particular example when ethylacetoacetate is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide, the methyl group abstracts the acidic proton and converts into methane gas. The enolate when hydrolyzed is again converted into ethylacetoacetate as shown below,
