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.

Write the ionization equation for hypochlorous acid, HClO, dissolved in water.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

HClO (l)  →  H⁺ (aq)    +       ClO⁻ (aq)

                 proton   and    hypochlorite.

Explanation:

HClO (Hypochlorous acid)

This is a weak acid that can be dissociated as this:

HClO (l)  →  H⁺ (aq)    +       ClO⁻ (aq)

                 proton   and    hypochlorite.

It is a weak acid, so it can adopt a Ka for its equilibrium

HClO +  H₂O  ⇄   H₃O⁺   +  ClO⁻          Ka
