Question

Using the law of conservation of mass, what is the mass, in grams, of the product in the given reaction?

Reactant 1 (35 grams)+ Reactant 2 (115 grams) →Product (? grams)

A. 80

B. 140

C. 150

D. 75

Answer 1

The correct option is;

C. 150

Step-by-step explanation:

By the law of conservation of mass we have that in a closed system, the mass of the items in the system can not be destroyed or created by a physical process or chemical reaction

In the given chemical reaction process we have;

Reactant 1 (35 grams) + Reactant 2 (115 grams) → Product = ((35 + 115) grams)

∴ Reactant 1 (35 grams) + Reactant 2 (115 grams) → Product (150 grams)

The mass of the product = 150 grams.
