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.

RoseWind [281]

Answer: 127 (3.s.f)

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that Volume x pressure = constant

Therefore let's first find the constant: 45 x 1900 = 85500

Then lets plug 675 ml and 85500 into the equation above:

675 x C = 85500

C = 127 (3 s.f.)

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?​
bonufazy [111]
Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.
