Law of conservation of mass: This law states that the total mass in a chemical reaction remains constant that is the total mass on the reactant side will be equal to the total mass on the product side in a chemical reaction.
Now, in a chemical reaction:
CaCl_2(s)+Na_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow 2NaCl(aq.)+CaSO_4(aq.)CaCl2(s)+Na2SO4(aq.)→2NaCl(aq.)+CaSO4(aq.)
\text{Mass on reactant side}=\text{Mass of }CaCl_2+\text{Mass of }Na_2SO_4Mass on reactant side=Mass of CaCl2+Mass of Na2SO4
\text{Mass of }CaCl_2=40+(2\times 35.5)=111amuMass of CaCl2=40+(2×35.5)=111amu
\text{Mass of }Na_2SO_4=(2\times 23)+32+(4\times 16)=142amuMass of Na2SO4=(2×23)+32+(4×16)=142amu
Mass of the reactant = 253 amu.
\text{Mass on product side}=\text{Mass of }2NaCl+\text{Mass of }CaSO_4Mass on product side=Mass of 2NaCl+Mass of CaSO4
\text{Mass of }2NaCl=2\times(23+35.5)=117amuMass of 2NaCl=2×(23+35.5)=117amu
\text{Mass of }CaSO_4=40+32+(4\times 16)=136amuMass of CaSO4=40+32+(4×16)=136amu
Mass of the product = 235 amu.
As ,the mass of reactant = Mass of product
Hence, this experiment verifies the law of conservation of mass.
Now, in a chemical reaction:
CaCl_2(s)+Na_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow 2NaCl(aq.)+CaSO_4(aq.)CaCl2(s)+Na2SO4(aq.)→2NaCl(aq.)+CaSO4(aq.)
\text{Mass on reactant side}=\text{Mass of }CaCl_2+\text{Mass of }Na_2SO_4Mass on reactant side=Mass of CaCl2+Mass of Na2SO4
\text{Mass of }CaCl_2=40+(2\times 35.5)=111amuMass of CaCl2=40+(2×35.5)=111amu
\text{Mass of }Na_2SO_4=(2\times 23)+32+(4\times 16)=142amuMass of Na2SO4=(2×23)+32+(4×16)=142amu
Mass of the reactant = 253 amu.
\text{Mass on product side}=\text{Mass of }2NaCl+\text{Mass of }CaSO_4Mass on product side=Mass of 2NaCl+Mass of CaSO4
\text{Mass of }2NaCl=2\times(23+35.5)=117amuMass of 2NaCl=2×(23+35.5)=117amu
\text{Mass of }CaSO_4=40+32+(4\times 16)=136amuMass of CaSO4=40+32+(4×16)=136amu
