Does the total number of atoms stay the same during a chemical reaction?

Indeed by the Law of Conservation of Mass, mass cannot be lost or gained through a reaction. Similarly, atoms cannot be lost, gained or somehow transformed themselves-only rearranged into different compounds. This means there are still going to be the same amount of Hydrogen atoms after a reaction as there were before.

∙ 11y agomaybe, maybe not. Some reactions combine molecules to make a single larger molecule. Some reactions break down larger molecules to form more than 1 smaller molecule.

How many potassium atoms are in the reactants of the chemical reaction?
The same number you started with. In every chemical reaction the total number of atoms at the start is the same as the number of atoms at the end.
What is a formed or broken apart during a chemical reaction?
chemical bond
What happens during every chemical reaction?
all chemical reactions.....they burn and dissolve
What law of conservation says atoms are neither lost nor gained during a chemical reaction?
Law of Conservation of Matter.
If five atoms of hydrogen are reactants in a chemical reaction then how many atoms of hydrogen will be found in the products of that reaction?
Mass is conserved in a chemical reaction, so the mass before must equal the mass after. If you have five atoms before, you must have five atoms after.
Does a chemical equation show the number of atoms lost during a chemical reaction?
no
What chemical equation shows that no atoms are lost during a chemical reaction?
This is a balanced chemical reaction.
How many potassium atoms are in the reactants of the chemical reaction?
The same number you started with. In every chemical reaction the total number of atoms at the start is the same as the number of atoms at the end.
What happens between atoms during a chemical reaction?
This happens when atoms are rearanged
Does the number of atoms entering the reaction stay the same as the number put out by the reaction?
Chemical reactions do not change the number of atoms so yes, the number of atoms stays the same.
How do new product is form in chemical reaction?
During a chemical reaction atoms of the reactants are relocated to forms the products.
How does the idea of atoms explain the principle of conservation of matter?
this phrase refers to the" law of conservation of mass ".this law states that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of products after reaction has completed .or the total number of atoms taking part in a chemical reaction as reactants is equal to the total number of atoms obtained as products
What happens to the bonds of the products during a chemical reaction?
Chemical reactions always involve changes in the chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds. At least one chemical bond is broken or formed during a chemical reaction.
What is a formed or broken apart during a chemical reaction?
chemical bond
During what kind of processes are atoms and molecules rearranged?
a chemical reaction
What happens to the atoms of an object or a substance during a chemical reaction?
The atoms involved in a chemical reaction have their bonds broken, new bonds formed, or existing bonds rearranged depending on the reaction type.
When a chemical reaction occurs atoms are never?
When a chemical reaction occurs atoms get ionized. Atoms are never created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
