Question 24 • AZ-Physical Science A-CR

Liquid 1 reacts with Liquid 2, producing a solid and a gas. Using this scenario, which supports the law of conservation of mass?

Answer
A
mass of Liquid 1 + mass of solid = mass of Liquid 2 + mass of gas
B
mass of Liquid 1 – mass of solid = mass of Liquid 2 – mass of gas
C
mass of Liquid 1 – mass of Liquid 2 = mass of solid + mass of gas
D
mass of Liquid 1 + mass of Liquid 2 = mass of solid + mass of gas

Explanation

The law of conservation of mass says that the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products. Here, Liquid 1 and Liquid 2 are the reactants, while the solid and gas are the products. So the masses must satisfy: mass of Liquid 1 + mass of Liquid 2 = mass of solid + mass of gas. This is choice D.
