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.

What is the agent that causes frost wedging?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Freeze wedging is caused by the repeated freeze-thaw. Frost wedging occurs as the result of 9% expansion of water when it is converted to ice. Cracks filled with water are forced further apart when it freezes.

12.A piece of magnesium is in the shape of a cylinder with a height of 5.62 cm

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Density, d = 1.779 g/cm³

Explanation:

The density of a material is given by its mass per unit volume.

Here, height of a piece of magnesium cylinder, h = 5.62 cm

Its diameter, d = 1.34 cm

Radius = 0.67 cm

Volume of he cylinder,

$V=\pi r^2 h\\\\\text{Putting the value of r and h, we get :}\\\\V=(\pi \times (0.67)^2\times 5.62)\ cm^3$

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{14.1\ g}{(\pi \times (0.67)^2\times 5.62)\ cm^3}\\\\d=1.779\ g/cm^3$

So, the density of the sample is 1.779 g/cm³.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

n(HCl)=1.96 mol

Explanation:

CH4+4Cl2⟶CCl4+4HCl

CCl4+2HF⟶CCl2F2+2HCl

With ideal yields we will end up with 4 moles of HCl.

With 70% yields on every stage

n(HCl)=0.7*0.7*4=1.96 mol
