Answer:

Option D is correct.

H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

Explanation:

First of all we will get to know what law of conservation of mass states.

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

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.

Example:

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.

Now we will apply this law to given chemical equations:

A) H₂ + O₂   →    H₂O

There are two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms present on left side while on right side only one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms are present so mass in not conserved. This equation not follow the law of conservation of mass.

B) Mg + HCl   →   H₂ + MgCl₂

In this equation one Mg, one H and one Cl atoms are present on left side while on right side two hydrogen, one Mg and two chlorine atoms are present. This equation also not follow the law of conservation of mass.

C) KClO₃      →     KCl + O₂

There are one K, one Cl and three O atoms are present on left side of chemical equation while on right side one K one Cl and two oxygen atoms are present. This equation also not following the law of conservation of mass.

D)  H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

There are two hydrogen, one carbon and three oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation thus, mass remain conserved. Thus is correct option.

seropon [69]

Answer:

1st Question: A

2nd Question: B

Explanation:

The 1st answer would be A because if a sample is at absolute zero then the sample is at its lowest temperature none of the molecules would be able to move, this is because lower temperature= lower kinetic energy.

The 2nd answer would be B because if a sample has more temperature it speeds up it has more temperature and more kinetic energy, meaning it would move faster because there is more temperature.

REY [17]
The physical properties of water is that it is clear, it has no taste. No odour. It freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius. The different stages of water is liquid, solid and gas. It is liquid at normal state. Ice when solid and steam when it is a gas state.

It is essential for human life because majority of the human body is made out of water. The water in the body allows certain parts and organs to function properly. Without water humans are most like to become I’ll and even dehydrate causing major injuries. It is also essential for the brain to function

Explain why it is not a good idea to throw an aerosol can into a fire. Which gas law applies?
Helga [31]
The gas inside the can and the can’s volume are both constant.
The gas pressure increases with increasing temperature.
The can will burst if the pressure becomes great enough.
The gas law that applies is Gay-Lussac’s law.
