In your own words, what is the conservation of mass?

Chemistry

Answer:

In chemistry, the law of conservation of mass states that the mass of the products (the chemical substances created by a chemical reaction) will always equal the mass of the reactants (the substances that make the chemical reaction). Think of it as being similar to balancing an algebraic equation.

Explanation:

Answer:

Mass cannot be created or destroyed.

Explanation:

        Conservation of mass is "a principle stating that mass cannot be created or destroyed" (<em>Oxford Languages</em>).

Have a nice day! (there is not much rewording/etc you can do here as it is a simple principle, but I hope this will still help!)

    I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 5.30x10-3 g of methane?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of carbon dioxide, you need to (1) convert grams CH₄ to moles CH₄ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles CH₄ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams CO₂ (via molar mass). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value (5.30 x 10⁻³ g).

Molar Mass (CH₄): 12.011 g/mol + 4(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CH₄): 16.043 g/mol

Combustion of Methane:

1 CH₄ + 2 O₂ ---> 2 H₂O + 1 CO₂

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

5.30 x 10⁻³ g CH₄          1 mole              1 mole CO₂          44.007 g
---------------------------  x  ----------------  x  ---------------------  x  -----------------  =
                                      16.043 g            1 mole CH₄            1 mole

=  0.0145 g CO₂

=  1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]
m_a_m_a [10]

The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

To know more about oxidation number here:

Which of the following statements explains why atoms are always neutral in charge
laila [671]

Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.
