The law conservation of mass, because part of the mass can be converted into energy
also, the elements are changing during nuclear reactions, new elements are formed
Answer: The correct statement is (A new substance is formed and the process can usually NOT be undone.)
Explanation:
A chemical reaction is simply defined as the reaction between two or more elements in which a new substance is formed and the process can usually not be undone. Different types of chemical reaction includes:
-- combination reaction: this occurs when two or more reactants form a product. For example: In the burning of coal, It combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Also in the burning of wood, carbon dioxide is given off and ashes are formed. Because new substance is being formed, they often can't be undone. The ashes formed can't be changed back into wood. Other types of chemical reaction are listed below.
-- Decomposition reaction
-- Single displacement reaction
-- Double displacement reaction
-- combustion reaction
-- Redox reaction
For the product of a chemical reaction to be undone (reversed), it has to undergo another chemical process different from the one that produced it.
We can write the balanced equation for the synthesis reaction as
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
We use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and hydrogen gas H2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2 needed:
mass of H2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2)
= 4.056 g H2
We also use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and chlorine gas CL2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2:
mass of CL2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(70.91 g Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2)
= 142.4 g Cl2
Therefore, we need 4.056 grams of hydrogen gas and 142.4 grams of chlorine gas to produce 146.4 grams of hydrogen chloride gas.
I believe the answer is compound B may have a lower molecular weight compared to compound A.
At the same temperature, lighter particles of a compound have a higher average speeds than do heavier particles of another compound. Thus, particles of compound B are lighter than those of compound A and thus they have a higher average speed, hence evaporating faster compared to compound A.
