HELP- "During an investigation a scientist heated 27 g of mercuric oxide till it decomposed to leave a dry product. The total mass of the product formed was 25 g. Does the law of conservation of mass hold true in this case? Use complete sentences to justify your answer based on numerical calculations." WHATS THE ANSWER.

Answer:

, if we see we are considering this initial mass of this in this particular case, the initial mass of substantiated- or we can say, mercury oxide heated, it is, we can say, 27 grains. So this is the initial mass which is heated here. It is like this and what we can say we can consider this consent, passion of mass, so consummation of mass. We are looking here, the log, the conservation of the mass, so conservation of mass state at mass. It is always converted, but if it's not the case, we can also modify it it through mass and energy. They are combined converted or we can say, mass energy equivalence here so mass. It is confirmed in this case, so we can say, but here it is said that initially mass was 27 gram and finally mass was 25 gram. So but as we know, mass it is conserved mass, it is always conserved, so if the mass it is conserved, we should say this thing that the lost in the 2 gram weight must be due to the evaporation or we can say formation of the gases which Have been escaped, that is why it cannot be recorded, so we can say 2 gramos in the mass to the escape of the gas, or we can say evaporation. So.
