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?
B. Law of conservation of mass
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
