When the reactive alkali metal sodium is reacted with poisonous chlorine gas, sodium chloride or table salt is produced. is mass conserved? design a simple experiment to support your answer.

Yes, Mass is conserved.

Explanation:

Every chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that in chemical reactions, mass is always constant.

     Equation:

                       2Na + Cl₂  →  2NaCl

From the equation above, one can observe that the reaction started using 2 atoms of Na and it produced 2 atoms of the same element in NaCl. A molecule of Cl produced 2 atoms of Cl in the NaCl

Design a simple experiment to support your

Aim: To demonstrate the law of conservation of mass

   One Na atom weighs 23g

   Two Na atom will weigh 2 x 23 = 46g

1 atom of Cl is 35.5g

1 molecule of Cl containing two atoms of Cl will weigh 2 x 35.5 = 71g

Total mass of reactants = mass of 2Na + 1Cl₂ = (46 + 71)g = 117g

On the product side, Mass of 1 NaCl = 23+ 35.5 = 58.5g

Two moles of NaCl will give 2 x 58.5g = 117g

Since the mass on both side is the same, one can say mass is conserved.

answer: mole of the gas

answer: mole of the gasexplanation:

considering the question as per the attachment

here we can see that the radon nuclide has 222 as the atomic mass number and 86 as the atomic number.

when it undergoes nuclear fission it gives polonium which has atomic mass number as 218 and atomic number will be 84 along with a helium nucleus which has 4 atomic mass number and 2 as its atomic number.

222 = 218 + 4 (atomic mass number)

86 = ? + 2; therefore ? = 86-2 = 84.

the atomic mass number of polonium will be 84.
