Question 13

What is the law of conservation of mass and how does it relate to chemical equations?

Accepted Answer

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, and this principle is reflected in balanced chemical equations.

Answer

The law of conservation of mass asserts that mass can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, and this concept is represented by unbalanced chemical equations.

Answer

The law of conservation of mass suggests that mass is only conserved in physical changes, and chemical equations do not adhere to this principle.

Answer

The law of conservation of mass is irrelevant to chemical equations as they primarily focus on energy conservation rather than mass conservation.

Question 14

Why is it necessary to balance a chemical equation?

Accepted Answer

Balancing a chemical equation ensures that the reactants and products have the same number of atoms of each element, maintaining the law of conservation of mass.

Answer

Balancing a chemical equation is optional and does not have any impact on the accuracy of representing chemical reactions.

Answer

Balancing a chemical equation is necessary to change the nature of the reaction and make it more energetically favorable.

Answer

Balancing a chemical equation is only required for academic purposes and has no practical applications in the field of chemistry.

Question 15

What role do coefficients play in balancing a chemical equation?

Accepted Answer

Coefficients in a chemical equation represent the number of molecules of each substance involved in the reaction and are essential for balancing the equation.

Answer

Coefficients are used to indicate the state of matter of each substance in the reaction and have no impact on balancing the chemical equation.

Answer

Coefficients are arbitrary numbers that can be added to a chemical equation for aesthetic reasons, but they do not affect the accuracy of the representation.

Answer

Coefficients are irrelevant to balancing a chemical equation; only the subscripts in the chemical formulas are adjusted to achieve balance.

Question 16

How is mass conserved when a substance has a physical or chemical change?

Accepted Answer

Mass is conserved in both physical and chemical changes because the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.

Answer

Mass is not conserved in physical changes, but it is conserved in chemical changes due to the law of conservation of mass.

Answer

Mass is conserved in physical changes, but in chemical changes, some mass is lost or gained depending on the reaction.

Answer

Mass conservation is a theoretical concept and does not apply practically to either physical or chemical changes in substances.

Question 17

How is a physical change difference from a chemical change?

Accepted Answer

In a physical change, the composition of the substance remains the same, while in a chemical change, new substances with different compositions are formed.

Answer

A physical change involves a change in color, while a chemical change involves a change in shape.

Answer

In a physical change, there is always a release or absorption of energy, while in a chemical change, energy changes do not occur.

Answer

A physical change is characterized by the formation of new compounds, while a chemical change only involves alterations in the physical state of matter.

Question 18

What observable evidence is used to infer that a chemical reaction has occurred?

Accepted Answer

Change in color, production of a gas, formation of a precipitate, and change in temperature are all observable evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred.

Answer

Change in volume, increased pressure, and altered density are indicators that a chemical reaction has taken place.

Answer

Any alteration in the physical state, such as melting or freezing, is a clear sign of a chemical reaction.

Answer

Changes in odor and alterations in magnetic properties are key indicators that a chemical reaction has occurred.

Question 19

How does temperature influence a chemical change?

Accepted Answer

Temperature can affect the rate of a chemical reaction, influencing the speed at which reactants transform into products.

Answer

Temperature has no impact on chemical changes; it is solely a factor in physical changes.

Answer

Chemical changes occur only at extremely high temperatures, making temperature a critical factor in initiating reactions.

Answer

Chemical changes are unaffected by temperature variations, as they are solely dependent on the nature of the substances involved.
