Question

Show that the following equation is in accordance with law of conservation of mass: 4P+50,- 2P205 [atomic mass of P=31,0=16]​

Answer 1

Answer:

The balancing of chemical equations is based on law of conservation of mass.

The Law of conservation of mass states that mass can be neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Total mass of reactants is equal to total mass of products.

Thus, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
