Questions and Answers

What does the Law of Conservation of Mass state about the mass during a chemical reaction?

  • The mass remains constant throughout the reaction. (correct)
  • The mass decreases as energy is released.
  • The mass increases due to the formation of new compounds.
  • The mass can be ignored if the reaction is exothermic.
  • Which of the following best illustrates the Law of Constant Composition?

  • In every chemical reaction, the masses of reactants and products can vary.
  • 9 grams of water is made up of 1 gram of hydrogen and 8 grams of oxygen. (correct)
  • Water can be formed from varying ratios of hydrogen and oxygen.
  • 9 grams of water always contains 2 grams of hydrogen and 7 grams of oxygen.
  • What should be the outcome when weighing the flask before and after mixing the solutions in the activity?

  • The mass should increase due to evaporation.
  • The mass will fluctuate depending on the temperature.
  • The mass should remain unchanged if no material escapes. (correct)
  • The mass should be lower after mixing due to gas release.

    Study Notes

    Law of Conservation of Mass

    • The mass of a closed system remains constant during a chemical reaction.
    • This means that the total mass of the reactants before the reaction is equal to the total mass of the products after the reaction.
    • In an experiment involving two solutions (X and Y) mixed in a flask, the mass of the flask and its contents remains the same before and after the reaction.

    Law of Constant Composition

    • Compounds are formed by two or more elements in a definite proportion by mass.
    • This means that the ratio of the masses of the elements in a particular compound is always the same, regardless of the source of the compound.
    • Example: Water always contains hydrogen and oxygen in a mass ratio of 1:8.
