Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, but the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products to be a balanced equation.

Example: Consider the following reaction ...

3H₂ + N₂ => 2NH₃ and 'amu' is atomic mass units (formula weights from periodic table)

In terms of molecules, there are 4 molecules on the left (3 molecular hydrogens (H₂) and 1 molecular nitrogen (N₂) and 2 molecules of ammonia on the right side of equation arrow. ∑reactant molecules ≠ ∑product molecules.

In terms of mass of reactants & mass of products, the 3H₂ + N₂ => 6amu + 28amu = 34amu & mass of products (2NH₃) => 2(14amu) + 6(1amu) = 34amu for sum of product masses.

∑mass reactants = ∑mass products <=> 34amu = 34amu.

The expression '∑mass reactants = ∑mass products' as applied to chemical equations is generally known as 'The Law of Mass Balance'.

Why was a condenser not necessary in the final distillation
Travka [436]

Answer:Methyl benzoate has a very high boiling point i.e. 199°C.Therefore a water-cooled condenser is not advisable as it might crack the condenser tube.So in such cases air condenser tube is normally used for such distillation procedure.

Answer : first opinion and also last
Expiation : Note that these last two reactions, and 2H + 2H → 4He + γ, .Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two nuclei are combined to form a larger nucleus. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two nuclei are combined, or fused, to form a larger nucleus. We know that all nuclei have less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that form them. The missing mass times c2 equals the binding energy of the nucleus—the greater the binding energy, the greater the missing mass.

Polly is pushing a box across the floor with a force of 30 N. The force of gravity is –8 N, and the normal force is 8 N. Which v
andrew11 [14]

The answer is -30 N

The explanation:

- to make the box move. so,the horizontal force must be greater than the frictional force.

-and when the horizontal force applied is 30 N. So, the box will remain stationary if the frictional force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the horizontal force. means frictional force = -30 N

This is also being indicate that vertical force due to gravity is equivalent to the normal force when gravity force = 8 N and normal force =8 , meaning the box does not move vertically.
