How do you calculate the percentage of mass lost for bicarbonates?

To calculate the percentage of mass lost for bicarbonates, you would first determine the initial mass of the bicarbonate compound. Then, subtract the final mass after the reaction or process from the initial mass to find the mass lost. Finally, divide the mass lost by the initial mass and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of mass lost.


What happens to the lost mass during fission?

The lost mass (or mass defect) transforms into energy according to the law: E = mc2


If you weighed 150 kilogram and lost 1 kilogram what is the body percentage lost?

"Weight" is not measured in kilograms.If your mass was originally 150 kg and you lost 1 kg of mass, then you lost 2/3rds of 1 percent of your original mass.


What is the equation to use to find mass of x lost by hydrate?

Weight of hydrated substance - weight of same material after desiccation.


This is not lost in a chemical reaction?

Matter is not lost in a chemical reaction, as the total mass of the reactants is always equal to the total mass of the products. This principle is known as the law of conservation of mass.


In a process that produces energy such as combustion is any mass lost?

No. There is a mass deficit among the elements that combine, this goes away as heat or radiation; but this heat also has mass; in total, no mass is lost.


What happens to this lost mass?

Mass cannot be truly lost, as stated in the law of conservation of mass. It can change forms, such as being converted into energy through processes like nuclear reactions or chemical reactions. In these cases, the mass is not truly lost but rather transformed into a different state.


Lost of an atoms mass is in the nucleus?

Almost all of an atom's mass is in the nucleus.


When gasoline is burned in engine is mass lost?

No, because of the law of conservation of mass.


When a log burns in a fire is its mass lost?

Yes, when a log burns in a fire, mass is not lost but rather transformed into various byproducts such as ash, smoke, and gases. The total mass of the log, including these byproducts, remains constant due to the law of conservation of mass.


When a firecracker explodes mass is lost true or false?

Yes and no. Yes because most of the mass isn't a firecracker anymore, and no because mass is never lost or gained in a chemical reaction, which is what a firecracker explosion is. If you have a nuclear powered firecracker, however, it would be a definite yes because some mass would be converted into energy.


What does E equals mc2 have to do with nuclear fusion?

Some mass is "lost" during nuclear fusion and E = mc2 gives the amount of energy that this "lost" mass will be equal to.
