How does a balanced chemical equation satisfy the Law of Conservation of Mass?
During a chemical reaction, the total amount of matter stays the same.
During a chemical reaction, matter is destroyed.
During a chemical reaction, one or more new substances are formed.
During a chemical reaction, the total number of atoms increases.
When 5 grams of silver nitrate are added to a 50 gram solution of potassium chloride, 2 grams of silver chloride form in the solution as a precipitate. After the reaction, the total mass of the solution is 55 grams. Which evidence from the experiment supports the law of conservation of mass?
The final mass of the product equals the mass of the reactants.
The final mass of the product is less than the mass of the reactants.
The mass of the precipitate is less than the amount of silver nitrate.
The mass of the precipitate is greater than the amount of silver nitrate.
