Question

Jocelyn has 400 pounds of chemical A that she must react with 200 pounds of chemical B to create chemical C for use in an industrial manufacturing process. How many pounds of chemical C will Jocelyn have after the reaction is complete? pounds

Answer 1

Answer:

This chemical reaction should follow the Law of Conservation of Mass where mass cannot be created nor destroyed. That is, what goes in a system should be equal with what goes out the system. For this problem, the mass of C that is produced assuming there are no by-products should be 600 pounds.
