Answer:
A) the mass of product in a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the reactant.
Explanation:
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
Explanation:
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.
For example:
In given photosynthesis reaction:
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.
Stoichiometry is the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or a compound. this is normally a ratio of whole integers.
The balanced equation is:
2NaCl + 2 H2o → 2 NaOH + Cl2 + H2
1- we put 2 NaCl to balance Cl2 on the other side.
2- we put 2 NaOH to balance Na
3- We put 2 H2O to balance H & O on the to sides

Answer:
oxygen is limiting reactant
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of phosphorus = 25.0 g
Mass of oxygen = 50.0 g
What is limiting reactant ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
P₄ + 5O₂ → P₄O₁₀
Number of moles of P₄:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 25.0 g/ 123.89 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.20 mol
Number of moles of O₂:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 50.0 g/ 32 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.56 mol
now we will compare the moles of reactants with product:
P₄ : P₄O₁₀
1 : 1
0.20 : 0.20
O₂ : P₄O₁₀
5 : 1
1.56 : 1/5×1.56 = 0.312 mol
Less number of moles of product are formed by the oxygen thus it will act as limiting reactant.
