The images below are models that represent the reactants and products of a chemical reaction. Reactants Products

Based on the models, was mass conserved in this chemical reaction?
A.
No, because the purple atom formed two bonds in its reactant molecule and only one bond in its product molecule.
B.
No, because the reactants are made up of different types of molecules than the products.
C.
Yes, because the number of reactant molecules is the same as the number of product molecules.
D.
Yes, because the number of each type of atom is the same in the products as it is in the reactants.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, when mass is conserved , the number of atoms or moles of the reactants must be equal to the number of moles or atoms in the products side.

From the diagram, we should carefully look to see if the number of atoms that makes up the reactants are equal to those on the product side.

 For example:

      A + B → AB

Here, mass is conserved because, on the reactant side, we have 1 atom of A and on the product side we have 1 atom of A

For B, on the reactant side, we have 1 atom of B and on the product side, we have 1 atom of B.

  1.the balanced   chemical equation is as below

cu +   2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂   +2 ag

2.the   much silver   produced   is   50.9 g

step 1: find the   moles of cu

moles =   mass÷   molar mass

  from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236   moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the   moles of ag

from equation above   cu: ag   is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag   =0.236   moles   x 2/1 =0.472   moles

step 3: find the mass   of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table   the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass   = 0.472   moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3.   the   much   silver   collected worth is   1.797 oz

  convert   50.9 g   to oz

that is   1 gram = 0.0353 oz

          50.9 grams =?   oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1   gram}   =1.797 oz
