Can matter every be destroyed? Why or why not?

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Consider the equilibrium system: 2icl(s) ⇄ i2(s) + cl2(g) which of the following changes will increase the total amount of of cl2 that can be produced? all of the listed answers are correct decreasing the volume of the container removing the cl2 as it is formed adding more icl(s) removing some of the i2(s)
