1.7 , g of silver nitrate is dissolved in 100 , g of water, and 0.585 , g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 , g of water. Both are mixed and a chemical reaction occurs. 1.435 , g of silver chloride and 0.85 , g of sodium nitrate are formed. Which law of chemical combination is shown by the above reaction?
Options
- ALaw of multiple proportions
- BLaw of conservation of mass
- CLaw of reciprocal proportions
- DLaw of constant proportions
Correct answer
B. Law of conservation of mass
Step-by-step solution
Total mass of reactants = Mass of silver nitrate + Mass of water + Mass of sodium chloride + Mass of water Total mass of reactants = 1.7 + 100 + 0.585 + 100 = 202.285 , g Total mass of products = Mass of silver chloride + Mass of sodium nitrate + Mass of water Total mass of products = 1.435 + 0.85 + 200 = 202.285 , g Since the total mass of reactants is exactly equal to the total mass of products, this reaction demonstrates the law of conservation of mass. Answer: Law of conservation of mass
