A chemist combines 33 g of methane with 289 g of oxygen to from 189 g of carbon dioxide and 30 g of water. Determine if the results of the following word problem adheres to the Law of Conservation of Mass.

The correct answer is - no not adhere to the law of mass conservation.

Explanation:

According to the law of mass conservation in an isolated system, the mass can not be created or destroyed and in a chemical or physical change, the mass of products should be always equal to the mass of reactants.

On the basis of the law the mass of the chemical reaction-

Mass of products = mass of reactants

33 g of methane + 289g of oxygen = 189g of carbon dioxide + 30g of water

322g ≠ 219 g

which means this reaction does not adhere to the law of conservation.

3 hours because it is a decent distance.

the answer is true. hope it .
