Why is the total mass always conserved in a chemical reaction? Be sure that your explanation includes the discussion of atoms and bonds.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Conservation of mass means that mass can not be created and even destroyed. This hold true with energy. During a chemical reaction, atoms were never created during the process. Also, during the process they were not destroyed. Atoms just change in form, connect to a different configuration or made into smaller or larger molecules but never created or destroyed.

The pH of a solution can be calculated using which formula?

Answers

Answer:The pH is the negative log of H+

Explanation:a p e x

There are quite a few relationships between [H+] and [OH−] ions. And because there is a large range of number between 10 to 10-15 M, the pH is used. pH = -log[H+] and pOH = -log[OH−]. In aqueous solutions, [H+ ][OH- ] = 10-14. From here we can derive the values of each concentration.

 

 -log[H+ ] + -log[OH- ] = -log[10-14]

pH + pOH = 14

So pH = 14 – pOH and pOH = 14 – pH 

What two forces act in the nucleus to create a 'nuclear tug of war'?

Answers

In Nuclei, There are 2 forces. 1 force is electrostatic and acts as repulsion between 2 protons. The other is force of attraction called Nuclear force between 2 neutrons. This nuclear force is a short range force and is so strong that it negates the effect of the force of repulsion between the protons and helps bind the nucleus together. Hope this helped :D

An ice cube melts when a person holds it in his hand.

Answers

In the first situation: the mechanism of covection is the main form of heat transfer when warm air from a heater moves around and upward.

In the case of the metal pan the mechanism of heat transfer is conduction.

In the case of sunburn the mechanism is radiation.

In the case of an ice cube melting in a hand, conduction is the most important mechanism.
