Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation should be given.
Concept introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a
(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation should be given.
Concept introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, therefore, the number of atoms present in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms present in the products.
