Consider the following aspects of substances involved in a chemical reaction: A. Physical state of all the substances B. Number of molecules of all substances C. Number of atoms of each substance D. Sum of masses of all atoms of substances Which of the above remain the same before and after a chemical reaction has taken place?
Consider the following aspects of substances involved in a chemical reaction: A. Physical state of all the substances B. Number of molecules of all substances C. Number of atoms of each substance D. Sum of masses of all atoms of substances Which of the above remain the same before and after a chemical reaction has taken place? Correct Answer C and D
The correct answer is C and D.
Explanation:
- Before and after the chemical reaction, the number of atoms is the same.
- Atoms are rearranged to form different substances during a chemical reaction, but the total number of atoms and the types of atoms are the same before and after the reaction.
- Chemical reactions are balanced by adding coefficients to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on both sides is the same.
- A physical change, such as changing states or dissolving, does not result in the formation of a new substance, whereas a chemical change does.
- According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so the total quantity of matter, i.e., the total mass, remains constant before and after a change. As a result, the mass of the substances before and after a chemical change will be the same.
