Question

What is the mass of carbon dioxide formed if in a reaction 12g of carbon reacted with

32g of oxygen to form carbon dioxide? Does the reaction obey law of conservation of

mass?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. It means that mass of reactants is always equal to the mass of products. It was given by Antoine Lavoisier.

Mass of carbon=12 g  

Mass of oxygen=32 g

Mass of carbon dioxide=12+32

=44 g
