Introduction to the Quadratic Formula

Question 20 • EA Academy Civics 9

The equation below shows a general equation for a reaction, and the amounts of the substance are written underneath. AB + CD → AC + BD(15 g) (?) (?) (10 g)The total mass of the products is 50g. Which best completes the other two amounts?

Answer
A
The amount of CD is 40 g, and the amount of AC is 35 g.
B
The amount of CD is 35 g, and the amount of AC is 40 g.
C
The amount of CD and AC would be the same.
D
The amount of CD and AC is undetermined.

Explanation

By conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products: 15 g + CD = 50 g, so CD is 35 g. The products also total 50 g, so AC + 10 g = 50 g, making AC 40 g. Thus, choice B is correct.
