How can you tell the mass was conserved in a chemical reaction?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed.
In a chemical reaction, there are products and reactants. The reactants <em>react</em> and <em>produce</em> the products.
Since mass can't be created or destroyed, the mass of the products must be equal to the mass of the reactants if mass was conserved in a chemical reactions.

Answer:
Concentration of sodium carbonate in the solution before the addition of HCl is 0.004881 mol/L.
Explanation:
Molarity of HCl solution = 0.1174 M
Volume of HCl solution = 83.15 mL = 0.08315 L
Moles of HCl = n
According to reaction , 2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of sodium carbonate.
Then 0.009762 mol of HCl will recat with:
Moles of Sodium carbonate = 0.004881 mol
Volume of the sodium carbonate containing solution taken = 1L
Concentration of sodium carbonate in the solution before the addition of HCl:
