Principle of Conservation of Mass
In simple terms, it means that in a chemical equation, the mass of the reactants is same as mass of products. No mass is created, and cannot be transformed.

I think It means that any balanced equation is conserved. Meaning that the equation is equal. The law states matter can’t be created or destroyed. In chemical reactions the mass of an element is the same before and after the product. There’s two sides two an equation the reactants side and the product’s side. Hope this helps.

Which of the following atoms has the highest electronegativity?

katrin [286]

A. Chlorine is the most electronegative element out of the possible choices. Generally (though not 100% of the time) electronegativity increases as you go further left and up the periodic table.

How many moles of calcium chloride would react with 5. 99 moles of aluminum oxide?

slega [8]

There are 17.97 moles of calcium chloride would react with 5. 99 moles of aluminum oxide .

The balanced chemical equation between reaction between calcium chloride and aluminum oxide is given as,

$3CaCl_{2} (aq)+Al_{2} O_{3} (s)$ → $3CaO_{2} (s)+2Al Cl_{3} (aq)$

The molar ratio of above reaction is 3:1

It means 3 moles of calcium chloride is require to react one mole of aluminum oxide.

The number of moles of calcium chloride requires to react with 5. 99 moles of aluminum oxide = 3 × 5. 99 = 17.97 moles

The equation in which number of atoms of elements in reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of elements in product side is called balanced chemical equation .
