A student mixed two clear liquids together in a beaker and a solid precipitate formed. His data is shown in the table below.

Liquid reactant A = 10 g
Liquid reactant B = 17 g
Beaker + solid product= 32 g
What is the mass of the beaker?
A. 5 g
B. 10 g
C. 15 g
D. 17 g
E. 32 g
Is the answer A?
Thank you

The answer is a "5g"

the whole QC is
1.A
2.D
3.B
4.C

Due to the conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.

Mass(A) + Mass(B) = Mass Solid Product
10g + 17g = 27g

Mass(beaker) = Mass(Beaker + product) - Mass (product)

So Mass(Beaker) = 32g - 27g = 5g

So your answer is "A. 5g."

Dude is correct. 100%

100% Dude is right.

To find the mass of the beaker, we can subtract the combined mass of the reactants from the combined mass of the beaker and the solid product.

Given data:
Mass of liquid reactant A = 10 g
Mass of liquid reactant B = 17 g
Combined mass of beaker and solid product = 32 g

To find the mass of the beaker, we can use the following formula:

Mass of beaker = Combined mass of beaker and solid product - (Mass of liquid reactant A + Mass of liquid reactant B)

Mass of beaker = 32 g - (10 g + 17 g)
Mass of beaker = 32 g - 27 g
Mass of beaker = 5 g

So, the correct answer is A. 5 g.
