questions on law of conservation of mass
Answers
Which of the following statements best defines the law of conservation of mass?
Mass cannot be created but it can be destroyed under extreme pressures.
Mass cannot be conserved during a chemical reaction; a little bit of mass is always lost.
The mass of a closed system cannot change over time; mass cannot be created nor destroyed.
When added to a system, energy can destroy mass.
1. In a chemical reaction, 300 grams of reactant A are combined with 100 grams of reactant B. Both A and B react to completion. How much will the product weigh?
200 grams
400 grams
300 grams
It cannot be determined from the given information.
