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.

Firlakuza [10]

Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is a chemical compound that is a significant pollutant in gaseous form as it is involved in the production of acid rain.

Industrially, sulfur trioxide is an important precursor to sulfuric acid and is formed from the reaction between sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) as shown in the chemical equation below.

A student performs three trials of a titration of an acid with an unknown concentration. She compares her measured concentration

Viktor [21]

Answer:

There are many errors possible while titrating the acid of an unknown concentration with a base like NaOH.

Main error that leads to the error in results is misreading of the end point volume .

End point is when the reaction between the analyte and solution of known concentration has stopped .

Sometimes Burette is not straight enough to read the volume of the end point. One way to misread the volume of burette is by looking at the burette volume at an angle .

From above , volume seems to be higher. Indicators are used to indicate the color change of the reaction. In Acid-Base titrations , indicators first lighten up then changes its color.

So, error may have occurred in wrongly judging of the end point by color change of the indicator .
