According to the law of conservation of Mass:
In a chemical reaction mass can neither be created nor be destroyed
So, we can say that: Mass of A + Mass of B = Mass of C
In the given reaction,
One of the reactants weigh 5 grams and another one weighs x grams
The mass of the product of this reaction is 9 grams
<u>Mass of reactant B:</u>
Mass of A + Mass of B = Mass of C
5 + x = 9
x = 4 grams
B is the right answer because it’s a double replacement reaction and the potassium is balanced with the sulphate
Steel is an alloy and consists of more than one element (mainly iron and carbon), therefore steel is a mixture.
I think the mineral characteristics that the one gram sample of hematite taking up more space than a one gram sample of malachite is DENSITY.
The density of hematite is 5.26 g/cm³
The density of malachite is 3.6 to 4 g/cm³
Other physical characteristics of minerals are <span><span>Color, </span>Streak, Luster, H<span>ardness, </span>Cleavage, Fracture, Tenacity, and Crystal <span>Habit.</span></span>
