Law of Conservation of Mass in terms of atoms

1 answer:

4 0

No atoms are lost or made during the chemical reaction so the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In an atom, protons and neutrons contribute to the mass and since the number of them doesn’t change, the mass doesn’t either.

What is true when an element is oxidized? It bonds with the hydroxide ion. It loses electrons to another element. It reacts with

Mama L [17]

Answer: It loses electrons to another element.

Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.

$Fe\rightarrow Fe^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.

$\frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$

1. A rock with a mass of 66.5g<br>occupies 23.0 cm. Density?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

2.89 g/cm^3

Explanation:

Since density equals mass over volume (or also seen as $d=\frac{m}{v}$ ), simply divide 66.5 grams by 23.0 cm. This will output an answer of 2.89 g/cm^3.
