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 2.0 L container of nitrogen gas had a pressure of 3.2 atm. What volume would be necessary to decrease the pressure to 1.0 atm
beks73 [17]

Answer:

6.4 L

Explanation:

When all other variables are held constant, you can use Boyle's Law to find the missing volume:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

In this equation, "P₁" and "V₁" represent the initial pressure and volume. "P₂" and "V₂" represent the final pressure and volume. You can find the theoretical volume by plugging the given values into the equation and simplifying.

P₁ = 3.2 atm                      P₂ = 1.0 atm

V₁ = 2.0 L                          V₂ = ? L

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂                                                    <----- Boyle's Law

(3.2 atm)(2.0 L) = (1.0 atm)V₂                        <----- Insert values

6.4 = (1.0 atm)V₂                                           <----- Simplify left side

6.4 = V₂                                                        <----- Divide both sides by 1.0

HC2H3O2 (aq) + H2O (l) ⇔ C2H3O2- (aq) + H3O+ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10-5
marin [14]

The concentration of [H3O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In general, the weak acid ionization reaction  

HA (aq) ---> H⁺ (aq) + A⁻ (aq)  

Ka's value  

\large {\boxed {\bold {Ka \: = \: \frac {[H ^ +] [A ^ -]} {[HA]}}}}

Reaction

HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇔  (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

\tt Ka=\dfrac{[C_2H_3O^{2-}[H_3O^+]]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}}\\\\1.8\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{0.22\times [H_3O^+]}{0.035}

[H₃O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M

Where did water become gas?
ASHA 777 [7]
Answer: Water becomes gas at D-E.

Explanation:
In the flat line D-E water is absorbing energy to become gas, and when the water is completely gas, the temperature will increase again therefore the line will rise up.
