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

Chemistry

BigorU [14]3 years ago

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 statement(s) is/are consistent with the Bohr theory of the atom (and no other)?
olganol [36]

Answer:

(2) The lowest energy orbits are those closest to the nucleus.  

Explanation:

In the Bohr theory  the electrons describe circular orbits around the nucleus of the atom without radiating energy, therefore to maintain the circular orbit, the force that the electron experiences, that is, the coulombian force due to the presence of the nucleus, must be equal to the centripetal force.

The electron only emits or absorbs energy in the jumps from one allowed orbit to another, with only one jump occurring at a time, from layer K (n = 1) to layer L (n = 2),  without going through intermediate orbits. In said change it emits or absorbs a photon whose energy is the difference in energy between both levels.

In Bohr's model, it is stipulated that the energy of the electron is greater the greater the radius r, so the lowest energy orbits are those closest to the nucleus.
