Answer:

The given equation not following the law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

H₂ + O₂ → H₂ O

The number of oxygen atoms on both side of equation are not equal thus mass is not conserved and this equation not follow the this law.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

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.

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂ O

there are two oxygen atoms and four hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

How many moles of C2H2 are needed to react completely with 84.0 mol O2?

Mama L [17]

The reaction between C2H2 and O2 is as follows:
2C2H2 + 5O2 = 4CO2 + 2H2O

After balancing the equation, the reaction ratio between C2H2 and O2 is 2:5.

The moles of O2 in this reaction is 84.0 mol. According to the above ratio, the moles of C2H2 needed to react completely with the O2 is 84.0mole *2/5 = 33.6 mole.

To 225 mL of a 0. 80 M solution of Kl, a student adds enough water to make 1. 0 L of a more dilute Kl solution. What is the mola

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 0.18 M

Explanation:

Initial molarity, M1 = 0.8 M

Initial olume, V1 = 225 ml

Final volume, V2 = 1000 ml

Final Molarity, M2 = M1V1/V2

= 0.8 x 225/1000

= 0.18 M

Calcium oxide and oxygen gas are produced by the thermal decomposition of limestone in the reaction CaCO (s) CaO(s) + CO (g). Wh

kozerog [31]

The mass of lime that can be produced from 4.510 Kg of limestone is calculated as below

calculate the moles of CaCO3 used

that is moles =mass/molar mass
convert Kg to g = 4.510 x1000 =4510g
= 4510 / 100 =45.10 moles
CaCO3 = CaO +O2

by use of mole ratio between CaCO3 to CaO (1:1) the moles of CaO is also= 45.10 moles
mass of CaO = moles x molar mass

45.10 x56 = 2525.6 g of CaO
