Directions: Read the passage about mass in a combustion reaction.


The combustion of methane is a reaction in which methane gas burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. It is represented by the equation:


CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g)


In the equation, one molecule of methane gas requires two molecules of oxygen gas to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide gas and two molecules of water in vapor form. The molecules in the equation can be modeled with circles to represent atoms and straight lines to represent the bonds between them, as shown in the picture.


A student observes the model and claims that the total mass of the reaction is conserved. Is the student's claim correct? Why or why not?

a)

No, because the arrangement of atoms is different in the reactants and products.

b)

Yes, because the reactants and products are made of atoms of the same elements.

c)

Yes, because the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

d)

No, because the total number of atoms in products is greater than the total number of atoms in reactants.

36.

In a chemical reaction, table sugar (sucrose) is mixed with sulfuric acid. The result of the reaction is a towering black structure of elemental carbon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide gases. How can conservation of matter be proved using this reaction?

b)

The masses of the resultant gases and structure should be weighed to show that the resultants are heavier than the products.

c)

The masses of the resultant gases and structure should be weighed to show that the resultants are lighter than the products.
