IN A BALANCED CHEMICAL EQUATION,THE MASS OF THE REACTANTS IS EQUAL TO
A.ATOMS IN A MOLECULE
B.ATOMIC MASS OF THE ELEMENTS
C.VOLUME OF THE PRODUCTS
D.MASS OF THE PRODUCTS
I would choose d also.
Looks like it's D, but B is quite goofy. If they mean the mass of the elements in the reactant side only, then I think it's true, of course that also including the number of moles of each element in the balanced equation.
Just a side note, in a real world, D is never true, it is only an ideal concept in a "perfect" world.
D. MASS OF THE PRODUCTS
In a balanced chemical equation, the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products. This is known as the law of conservation of mass, which states that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
To determine the answer to this question, you need to understand how to balance a chemical equation. Here are the steps:
1. Identify the reactants and products in the chemical equation.
2. Write down the chemical formula for each reactant and product.
3. Count the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
4. Adjust the coefficients (numbers in front of the chemical formulas) to balance the equation. This means that the number of each type of atom must be the same on both sides of the equation.
5. Check that the equation is balanced by counting the number of atoms of each element again.
Once the equation is balanced, you can determine the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products. The mass of each reactant is determined by multiplying the number of moles of the reactant by its molar mass. The same applies to calculating the mass of the products.
So, the correct answer is D. MASS OF THE PRODUCTS.
