The law of conservation of matter states that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. Your friend shows you the following c

hemical equation: CaCO,CaO+CO, He says that because the oxygen atoms are split between two different molecules in the products, the equation does not support the law of conservation of matter. Is your friend right? Explain your answer.​

Answer:

According to conservation of matter, there should be equal amounts of all elements on both the reactant and product side.

Reactant:

1 Ca

1 C

1 O

Product:

1 Ca

1 C

3 O

Therefore, your friend is right because the law of conservation of matter is not followed in this chemical equation.

Compare the patterns of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges on earth?
IgorC [24]

At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occurs as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes form between the plates, as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle. Second, two plates may come together, at a converging plate boundary. Two situations are possible at converging plate boundaries.

How many moles of oxygen are needed to react with 87 grams of aluminum
labwork [276]

Answer:

2.4 moles of oxygen are needed to react with 87 g of aluminium.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

4Al(s)  + 3O₂(l)   → 2AlO₃(s)

Given data:

Mass of aluminium = 87 g

Moles of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Moles of aluminium:

Number of moles of aluminium= Mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of aluminium= 87 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles of aluminium= 3.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of aluminium with oxygen.

                              Al         :         O₂

                               4          :         3

                               3.2       :         3/4×3.2 = 2.4 mol

2.4 moles of oxygen are needed to react with 87 g of aluminium.

Please help.<br><br> Why does the temperature change when a powder is dissolved in water?
Schach [20]

Answer:

In order for the powder to dissolve, each powder molecule must separate from the other powder molecules and be surrounded by water molecules. This shift in arrangement either absorbs or releases energy depending on the situation. It is due to the exchange of energy that the temperature of the solution fluctuates.

ch sulfide (ZnS) occurs in the zinc blende crystal structure, (a) If 254 g of ZnS contains 170 g of Zn, what is the mass ratio o
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.

2.5559 kg of Zn are in 3.82 kg of ZnS.

Explanation:

a) Mass of zinc sulfide = 254 g

Mass of zinc in a zinc sulfide sample = 170 g

Mass of sulfide in zinc sulfide sample = x

254 g = 170 g+ x

x = 84 g

The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide:

\frac{170 g}{84 g}=\frac{85}{42}

b) Mass of zincsulfide sample = 3.83 kg

The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.

Let the mass of zinc and sulfide be 85x and 42x respectively:

85 x+ 42 x=3.82 kg

x =0.03007 kg

Mass of an zinc= 85x=85 × 0.03007 kg= 2.5559 kg

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Solid:- Particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors.

Liquid:- It takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume.

Gas:- Particles move rapidly and independently of each other.

Plasma:- It is the most common state of matter in the universe.

Explanation:

Solids are one of the three states of matter and, unlike liquids or gases, they have a definite shape that is not easy to change. Different solids have particular properties such as stretch, STRENGTH, or hardness that make them useful for different jobs.

A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume. Gases have lower density than other states of matter, such as solids and liquids. When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container.

A plasma is a gas that has been energized to the point that some of the electrons break free from, but travel with, their nucleus.
