Based on the law of conservation of matter, describe the relationship between the mass of the recants, and the mass of the produ
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

Answer:

230
     Th
  90

Explanation:

The left side shows the element uranium with mass number 234 (superscript to the left of ths symbol) and atomic mass 92 (subscript to the left of the symbol).

So,  you have to find the mass number and atomic numbers missing on the right side which added to those shown for the helium atom reach 234 and 92.

This the the mathematics:

1) Mass number of U - mass number of He = 234 - 4 = 230 ⇒ the mass number of the missing element is 230.

2) atomic number of U - atomic number of He = 92 - 2 = 90 ⇒ the atomic number of the missing element is 90.

Now, you use the atomic mass to identify the element. You do it by simply searching in a periodic table. There you find that the atomic number 90 corresponds to thorium, whose symbol is Th.

Now you have that the product that completes the right side of the decay equation is:

230
     Th
  90

if an atom of polonium-218 were to undergo alpha emission, followed by two beta emissions, which nuclide would result? lead-214
tia_tia [17]
Po, (218, 84) - Alpha Particle (4, 2) =   (218 - 4, 84 - 2) = <span>(214 , 82)</span>

(214 , 82) - 2Beta =   (214, 82 - 2*(-1)) = (214 , 84)

Polonium has atomic number of 84.

So answer = Polonium-214
