What does the law of conservation of mass state?
Mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.
Who is credited with confirming the law of conservation of mass?
Antoine Lavoisier in the late 18th century.
In a chemical reaction, what are reactants?
Reactants are the starting substances that undergo change.
In a chemical reaction, what are products?
Products are the new substances formed as a result of the reaction.
What happens to atoms during a chemical reaction?
Atoms are rearranged to form new substances; no atoms are created or destroyed.
How does the law of conservation of mass apply to a closed system?
In a closed system, no matter enters or leaves, so the total mass remains constant.
What is a word equation?
A word equation uses the names of reactants and products to describe a chemical reaction, e.g., hydrogen + oxygen → water.
What is a balanced symbolic equation?
A balanced symbolic equation uses chemical formulas and coefficients to show the same number of each atom on both sides.
Why must chemical equations be balanced?
To satisfy the law of conservation of mass, ensuring the same number of each atom on both sides.
Balance the equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
What is stoichiometry?
Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on conservation of mass.
In the reaction 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO, if 48 g of Mg reacts, what mass of MgO is produced? (Assume O₂ is in excess)
80 g (since mass is conserved: 48 g Mg + 32 g O₂ = 80 g MgO).
Does the law of conservation of mass hold for nuclear reactions?
No, in nuclear reactions mass can be converted to energy (E=mc²), so mass is not conserved.
What is an open system?
An open system allows matter and energy to enter or leave, so mass may not be conserved.
Give an example of a chemical reaction where mass appears to change but is actually conserved.
Burning wood: the mass of ash is less than the original wood, but the missing mass is in gases (CO₂, H₂O) released.
What is the continuity equation in fluid dynamics?
It expresses conservation of mass: ∂ρ/∂t + ∇·(ρv) = 0, where ρ is density and v is velocity.
In a chemical reaction, if 10 g of calcium carbonate decomposes to produce 5.6 g of calcium oxide, what mass of carbon dioxide is released?
4.4 g (10 g - 5.6 g = 4.4 g CO₂).
What does the coefficient in a balanced equation represent?
The number of molecules or moles of each substance involved in the reaction.
Balance the equation: Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
True or false: The law of conservation of mass applies only to chemical reactions.
False. It applies to any closed system in classical mechanics, including physical changes.
What is the difference between a reactant and a product?
Reactants are present before the reaction; products are formed after the reaction.
In the reaction CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O, identify the reactants and products.
Reactants: CH₄ (methane) and O₂ (oxygen). Products: CO₂ (carbon dioxide) and H₂O (water).
Why is the law of conservation of mass important in chemistry?
It allows us to predict the amounts of reactants and products in a reaction and to balance chemical equations.
What is the mass of 2 moles of water (H₂O)? (Atomic masses: H=1, O=16)
36 g (2 × (2×1 + 16) = 2 × 18 = 36 g).
