When balancing a nuclear equation what two quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear equation?

hi, the law of conservation of matter basically says that matter can't be destroyed or created. in nuclear equations, this is why the mass number and atomic number of the parent isotope always equal the mass number and atomic number of the products. hope this helps


What scientific law serves as the basis for balancing chemical reactions by requiring that there be no change of matter?

There is no such law. Only the totality of energy must be conserved in a chemical reaction.


A chemical equation must be balanced in order to show that mass is conserved during a reaction?

Yes. This is due to the law of conservation of mass/matter.


What is meant by chain reaction in nuclear reactor?

Basically a chain reaction (nuclear or chemical) is a self sustaining auto-catalytic reaction.In a nuclear reactor it is a neutron chain reaction, where each neutron released in every fission event can trigger another fission event. In a nuclear reactor the excess neutrons must be disposed of, which is the purpose of the control rods so that the reaction can be kept at some desired constant rate.


Why do reactants in a chemical reaction weigh exactly the same as different products at the end of a reaction?

Energy may only be transformed from one sort to another. Mass is a form of Energy and as such, must be, and is, conserved. It is 'of no surprise' then, that the number of atoms that enter a chemical reaction is equal to the number of atoms that exist after the reaction has been completed.

What quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear reaction?

In order for a nuclear reaction to be balanced, there are quantities that must be conserved. The quantities are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the particles involved in the reaction.

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.

In a nuclear reaction mass must be a lost to produce energy?

The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.

Yes. This is due to the law of conservation of mass/matter.
