How does a balanced chemical equation demonstrate conservation of mass?

Chemistry

Mariulka [41]2 years ago

Answer:

A balanced chemical equation will demonstrate the law of conservation of mass because the amount of elements on one side (reactants) will equal the amount of elements on the other side (products).

Explanation:

CH₄ + 4Cl₂ -> CCl₄ + 4HCl

Reactants:

1 C

4 H

8 Cl

Products:

1 C

4 H

8 Cl

Matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions. This is the law of conservation of mass. In every chemical reaction, the same mass of matter must end up in the products as started in the reactants. Balanced chemical equations show that mass is conserved in chemical reactions.

4. What are the characteristics of<br> the particles of matter?
mojhsa [17]

Not sure how in depth or what level of particles but I will go as deep as I know. The matter that makes up the world is comprised of 12 particles which are known as fermions. There are 12 fermions which are made up of 6 quarks (up, charm, top, Down, Strange, Bottom) 3 electrons (electron, muon, tau) and three neutrinos (e, muon, tau). Technically, only the up quark, down quark, electron, and electron neutrino are necessary to create all known matter since others would simply be very unstable and decay into those particles. The other type of particles are known as Bosons. These particles transmit forces and all sorts of different interactions. I have included a photo from online which describes the main characteristics of each elementary particle.

After completing an experiment to determine gravimetrically the percentage of water in a hydrate, a student reported a value of
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating

Explanation:

a) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to splatter out.

This will result in a higher percent of water than the real one, because you assume in the calculation that the splattered sample was only water (which in not true).

b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.

Usually inorganic salts may absorbed moisture from the atmosphere so this will explain the 13% difference between calculated water percent the real content of water in the hydrate.

c) The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.

It will create some errors but they do not create a difference of 13% difference as stated in the problem.

d) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.

Here the error is small.

e) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.

Usually the inorganic compounds are stable in the temperature range of this kind of experiments. If you have an organic compound which retain water molecules you may decompose the sample forming volatile compounds which will leave crucible so the error will be quite high.

The Lewis diagram for BH2 is:
Luda [366]

Answer:

Electron pair geometry- trigonal planar

There is one lone pair around the boron atom

The geometry of BH2 is bent

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory offers a frame work for determining the shape of molecules based on the number of electron pairs of the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In BH2-, the central atom is boron. There is a lone pair on boron. Owing to the lone pair on boron, the molecular geometry of BH2 is bent.

True [87]

Answer:

Lionfish are native to the Indo-Pacific region. However, a hurricane caused six fish from an aquarium to accidentally be swept out into the Atlantic Ocean. Female lionfish produce thousands of eggs at a time, which has allowed their population to rapidly increase in the Atlantic. There’s no firm estimate of the number of lionfish in the Atlantic Ocean right now. However, it might be as many as 375 to 1,000 lionfish per acre of ocean. These fish have predators such as sharks and scorpion fish in their natural habitat. However, they don’t have many natural predators in the Atlantic Ocean, where the typical predatory animals don’t seem to recognize lionfish as food. Their one predator is humans, who have recently started fishing them for food. In the Atlantic Ocean, algae and seaweed are producers. Small fish, crabs, and other crustaceans make up the first and secondary consumers. Sharks and orcas are some of the larger predators, which are also consumers. Bacteria and fungi are the decomposers that break down food. Lionfish are consumers because they eat fish and small crustaceans.
