In a fusion reaction the mass of the products is less than the mass of the reactants.
That is false. Assuming an exothermic reaction, e.g., a fusion of hydrogen to helium:The total amount of mass before and after the reaction is the same. (Any energy leaving the atom has a mass equivalent.)The total amount of energy before and after the reaction is the same. (The energy was there previously, in the form of potential energy).
Yes, an equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction that follows the law of conservation of mass. This means that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
Balancing a chemical reaction ensures that the same number of each type of atom is present on both sides of the equation, satisfying the law of conservation of mass. This is important because it reflects the true stoichiometry of the reaction and allows for accurate calculations regarding the quantities of reactants and products involved.
False. Combining nuclei to form a new nucleus is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus.
True. The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed; it simply changes form. This means that the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
More mass is converted to energy in a fusion reaction than in a chemical reaction, such as that found in a fuel cell. - APEX
True, the most common method is to use a balance
The amount of mass that "disappears" in the fusion of two hydrogen atoms is more than the amount of mass that "disappears" when two atoms are used in a fuel cell.the amount of mass that dissapears.........ect
That is false. Assuming an exothermic reaction, e.g., a fusion of hydrogen to helium:The total amount of mass before and after the reaction is the same. (Any energy leaving the atom has a mass equivalent.)The total amount of energy before and after the reaction is the same. (The energy was there previously, in the form of potential energy).
True. Balance scales are used to measure the mass of an object by comparing it to known weights on the other side of the scale until balance is achieved.
A true balance measures mass, so grams or kilograms.
False. The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. The total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.
Yes, an equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction that follows the law of conservation of mass. This means that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
False
Put her on a truck and have the truck weighed on a balance scale (NOT a spring scale). From this you can get true mass.
Yes, the Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is conserved in a closed system, meaning that the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
No. In a closed system, the mass of the products should equal the mass of the reactants.
