Quiz. S8P1f. Conservation of Matter in Reactions

Which of the following best describes the conservation of matter in a chemical reaction?

• Matter is created during a chemical reaction.

• Matter is destroyed during a chemical reaction.

• Matter is conserved; the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.

• Matter is converted into energy during a chemical reaction.

• The number of oxygen atoms

• A subscript

• The number of molecules produced

• The atomic mass

Explain why the mass of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the reactants.

• Because energy is absorbed during the reaction.

• Because atoms are rearranged but not created or destroyed.

• Because new atoms are formed during the reaction.

• Because the reaction occurs in a closed system.

• The claim is correct because some mass is lost as energy.

• The claim is incorrect because mass is conserved in chemical reactions.

• The claim is correct because sodium is heavier than sodium chloride.

• The claim is incorrect because chlorine is lighter than sodium chloride.

Why is it important to balance chemical equations in terms of the conservation of matter?

• To ensure the reaction occurs faster.

• To ensure the same number of each type of atom is present on both sides of the equation.

• To ensure the products are more stable than the reactants.

• To ensure the reactants are completely used up.
