Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for a first-order reaction, we can firstly compute the rate constant from the given half-life:
In such a way, the integrated first-order law, allows us to compute the final mass of the substance once 10.0 minutes (600 seconds) have passed:
Best regards.
Answer:
The mass of the products left in the test tube will be less than that of the original reactants.
Explanation
The equation for the reaction is
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
1.0 3.0 3.9 0.1
Assume you started with 1.0 g of Mg.
It will react with 3.0 g of HCl to form 3.9 g of MgCl2 and 0.1 g of H2
.
Mass of reactants = mass of products
1.0 g + 3.0 g = 3.9 g + 0.1 g
4.0 g = 4.0 g
The Law of Conservation of Mass is obeyed.
However, your test tube and its contents will weigh 0.1 g less than it did before the reaction.
Does that contradict the Law of Conservation of Mass? It does not.
One of the products was the gas, hydrogen, and it escaped from the test tube. You weren't measuring all the products, so test tube and its contents weighed less than before.
