How did John Dalton explain a chemical reaction using his atomic theory?

Answer 1

Three laws during Dalton's time were the law of definite proportions, law of multiple proportions and law of conservation of mass. According to law of conservation of mass, there is no loss of mass during any chemical reaction. Dalton's proposition that atoms are not destroyed or invented. The atoms merely realign themselves in a chemical reaction; so there is no loss of mass. According to the law of multiple proportions, when 2 elements form more than 1 compound, the different masses of one element that combine with the other element are connected to each other in small whole ratios. For example, in the case of nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen monoxide. One atom of nitrogen combines with one atom of oxygen for nitrogen monoxide. One atom of nitrogen combines with two atoms of oxygen for nitrogen dioxide. In the case of law of definite proportions, it is stated that a chemical compound always has precisely the same proportion of elements in terms of mass. According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter consists of atoms and one type of atom is allocated for each element. Compounds were actually combinations of various kinds of atoms in fixed ratios.

Answer 2

According to Dalton's atomic theory,the law of conservation of mass is explained by the fact that chemical reactions involve merely the combination, separation, or rearrangement of atoms and that during these processes atoms are not subdivided,created, or destroyed.

Answer 3

The law of conservation of mass can be explained by daltons theory because of the fact that chemical reactions innvolve the combination, separation or rearrangement of atoms and that during these processes atoms arent subdivided, created or destroyed.

Answer 4

the three laws on substances and chemical reactions are

law of conservation of mass

law of definite proportions and law of multiple proportion .

Answer 5

In Dalton's atomic theory, he explained that chemical reactions involved the rearrangement of combinations of those atoms.

Answer 6

The conservation of mass, that mass cannot be created or destroyed, is explained by Dalton's theory that atoms are indivisible and cannot be destroyed.

Answer 7

Law of conservation of mass (matter) in a slightly different form, conservation of atoms. Dalton's atomic theory stated atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
