Balance these 2 equations and identify the products and the reactants:
nacl > na + cl2
_na + hci > nacl + h2
explain how a balanced equation demonstrates the law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

1) NaCl → Na + Cl₂

2) Na + HCl  → NaCl + H₂

Chemical equation:

NaCl → Na + Cl₂

Balanced chemical equation:

2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂

There are two moles of sodium and two mole of chlorine on both side of equation so given chemical equation is correctly balanced and follow the law of conservation of mass.

2)

Chemical equation:

Na + HCl  → NaCl + H₂

Balanced chemical equation:

2Na + 2HCl  → 2NaCl + H₂

There are two moles of sodium and two mole of chlorine and hydrogen on both side of equation so given chemical equation is correctly balanced and follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation mass

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7

cu2o
