Answer:

detail is given below.

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.

Law of conservation of mass:

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

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

The given equation is balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis. 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.

If equation is not balanced,

CO₂ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

It can not follow the law of conservation of mass because mass is not equal on both side of equation.

In principle, the equilibrium in the dehydration of an alcohol could be shifted to the right be removal of water. Why is this ta

Trava [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember that if we want to remove water from the reaction vessel we have to heat the vessel. So, we can convert the liquid water into gas water and we can remove it from the vessel. In this case, the products of dehydration for both molecules are (E)-4-methylpent-2-ene and cyclohexene with boiling points of 59.2 ºC and 89 ºC respectively. The boiling point of water is 100 ºC, therefore if we heat the vessel the products and water would leave the system, and the products would be lost.

See figure 1
