Explain in your own words what the law of conservation of mass means

Chemistry
1 answer:
BigorU [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation, it  transfer from one to another form.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

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

Explanation:

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.

Which of the following is NOT a possible end-product of a fermentation process?- glucose- carbon dioxide- lactic acid- ethanol
MArishka [77]

Answer:

glucose

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration:

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration:

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.  

Steps involve in anaerobic respiration are:

Glycolysis:

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It involve the breakdown of one glucose molecule into pyruvate and 2ATP.

Fermentation:

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced in this step, however carbon dioxide is released.

frutty [35]

Answer:

3853 g

Step-by-step explanation:

M_r: 107.87

         16Ag + S₈ ⟶ 8Ag₂S; ΔH°f =  -31.8 kJ·mol⁻¹

1. Calculate the moles of Ag₂S

Moles of Ag₂S = 567.9 kJ × 1 mol Ag₂S/31.8kJ = 17.858 mol Ag₂S

2. Calculate the moles of Ag

Moles of Ag = 17.86 mol Ag₂S × (16 mol Ag/8 mol Ag₂S) = 35.717 mol Ag

3. Calculate the mass of Ag

Mass of g = 35.717 mol Ag × (107.87 g Ag/1 mol Ag) = 3853 g Ag

You must react 3853 g of Ag to produce 567.9 kJ of heat

What does a salt bridge do?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

A salt bridge or ion bridge, in electrochemistry, is a laboratory device used to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a galvanic cell (voltaic cell), a type of electrochemical cell. It maintains electrical neutrality within the internal circuit.
