1. if you were to measure the mass of magnesium and hydrochloric acid before combining them in the test tube, how would that mass compare to the mass of reactants left in the test tube after the reaction? explain your answer and how it corresponds to the law of conservation of mass.

Answer and explanation:

We know that magnesium and hydrochloric acid are to react with each other so the chemical equation for this reaction will be:

Here in this reaction, the mole ratio of the reactants used is 1:1 that means we need equal amounts of magnesium as well as hydrochloric acid to have a complete reaction.

Therefore, the mass would be same since according to the law of conservation of mass, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be changed.

i can ! i just need to know what the paragraph is! : p

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
