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.

Answer:

The new pressure will be 0.225 kPa.

Explanation:

Applying combined gas law:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }V_1$ are initial pressure and volume at initial temperature $T_1$ .

$P_2\text{ and }V_2$ are final pressure and volume at initial temperature $T_2$ .

We are given:

$P_1=0.29 kPa\\V_1=V\\P_2=?\\V_2=V+50\% of V=1.5 V$

$T_1=-25^oC=248.15 K$

$T _2 = 16^oC=289.15 K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{0.29 kPa\times V}{248.15 K}=\frac{P_2\times 1.5V}{289.15 K}$

$P_1=0.225 kPa$

Hence, the new pressure will be 0.225 kPa.
