How can balancing equations support the law of conservation

Chemistry
1 answer:
amm18123 years ago
4 0

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.

A 31.3-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.
Leona [35]
<span>We need to calculate the equivalent amount in units of moles of ammonium ions from the mass units. For this we need the molar mass of the substances involved. We calculate as follows: 

31.3 g </span>(NH4)2CO3 ( 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 / 96.09 g (NH4)2CO3) ( 2 mol NH4 / 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 ) = 0.65 mol <span>ammonium ions</span>

What decides if an atom will be a cation or an anion?
JulijaS [17]

The loss or gain of electrons

Explanation:

The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.

A cation is a positively charge ion

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:

 Protons are the positively charged particles

 Electrons are negatively charged

  Neutrons carry no charges

Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.

When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.

When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.

How much positive charge is in 0.7 kg of lithium? with each atom having 3 protons and 3 electrons. The elemental charge is 1.602
hichkok12 [17]

Explanation:

As a neutral lithium atom contains 3 protons and its elemental charge is given as 1.602 \times 10^{-19} C. Hence, we will calculate its number of moles as follows.

          Moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                     = \frac{0.7 \times 1000 g}{7 g/mol}

                     = 100 mol

According to mole concept, there are 6.023 \times 10^{23} atoms present in 1 mole. So, in 100 mol we will calculate the number of atoms as follows.

        No. of atoms = 100 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}

                               = 6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms

Since, it is given that charge on 1 atom is as follows.

                     3 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19}C

                    = 4.806 \times 10^{-19}C

Therefore, charge present on 6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms will be calculated as follows.

    6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms \times 4.806 \times 10^{-19} C

            28.95 \times 10^{6}C

Thus, we can conclude that a positive charge of 28.95 \times 10^{6}C is in 0.7 kg of lithium.

Explain how dalton's theory of the atom and the conservation of mass are related
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Dalton's atomic theory states that atoms may be mixed in certain rations to produce compounds, while the law of conservation of mass states that the mass of reactants equals the mass of products. They are related because in the production of compounds, Dalton made it clear that mass can neither be destroyed or created, which supports the conservation of mass law.
