If you were to measure the mass of magnesium and hydrochloric acid before combining them in the test tube, how would that mass compare to the mass of reactants left in the test tube after the reaction? explain your answer and how it corresponds to the law of conservation of mass.

The mass of left over reactants after the reaction will be less than that of the mass of Magnesium and hydrochloric acid before the reaction as the reactants react to form the products.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation representing the reaction of Mg and HCl:

As per the Law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants before the reaction will be equal to the total mass of products after the reaction. So, if one of the reactant is present in excess, it would be left unconsumed after the reaction and the mass of the left over reactant will be less than the initial mass of the reactants as the reactants undergo stoichiometric chemical reaction to form the products. But if we consider the mass of reactants and mass of products formed it must be equal as per the Law of conservation of mass which states that mass is neither created nor destroyed it changes.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
