Question

Is conservation of mass and matter true in the reaction: AgNO3+HCI=AgCI+HNO3?

Answer 1

The conservation of mass and matter is true

Step-by-step explanation:

• The law of conservation of mass requires that the mass of reactants and products be equal in chemical reactions.

Given the equation;

AgNO₃ + HCI → AgCI + HNO₃

• The equation is balanced because, it has 1 silver atom, 1 nitrogen, 3 oxygen atoms, 1 hydrogen atom, and 1 chloride atom on both side of the equation.
• Therefore, the mass of the reactants and the products is equal which makes the law of conservation of mass hold.
• The conservation of matter is also true since the reaction process without changing the number of atoms of each element.
