Answer:

A. Show that the total of the masses of the starting substances equals the mass of the mixture.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

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

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.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

In a similar way if we have mixture of sugar and sand the total weight of mixture is equal to the weight of reactants.

sand + sugar + water → mixture

10g+5g+20 g = 35 g

How many hydrogen bonds can CH2O make to water

VladimirAG [237]

Hydrogen bonds are not like covalent bonds. They are nowhere near as strong and you can't think of them in terms of a definite number like a valence. Polar molecules interact with each other and hydrogen bonds are an example of this where the interaction is especially strong. In your example you could represent it like this:

H2C=O---------H-OH 

But you should remember that the H2O molecule will be exchanging constantly with others in the solvation shell of the formaldehyde molecule and these in turn will be exchanging with other H2O molecules in the bulk solution. 

Formaldehyde in aqueous solution is in equilibrium with its hydrate. 

H2C=O + H2O <-----------------> H2C(OH)2

Why is ice cream a mixture

kvasek [131]

Ice is a mixture and it can be a compound at the same time. A mixture is when you have to substance's put together fro example you can mix salt and sugar together. But a compound is when two different elements or molecules are combined. Ice cream is a mixture or cream and sugar mainly.

The reaction of 5.40 g of carbon with excess O2 yields 13.6 g of CO2. What is the percent yield of this reaction?

vazorg [7]

C + O2= CO2
$n = \frac{m}{mw}$
$n = \frac{5.4}{12} \\ n = 0.45 \: mol \: of \: carbon$
$n = \frac{13.6}{12 + 16 \times 2} \\ n = \frac{13.6}{44} \\ n = 0.31 \: mol \: of \: carbon \: dioxide$
CO2 is limit
5.4-3.72= 1.68 g of C is excess
5.4 g = 100%
3.72 g = x
x=68.9 %
