There are two reactants in a chemical equation
and one product. The
mass of the product is
30g. The mass of the
first reactant is 17g.
What must the mass of
the second reactant be,
if the equation is to
follow the law of
conservation of mass?
PLEASE HELP ME

13g

Explanation:

The law of conversation of matter tells us that in a chemical reaction, matter is never created or destroyed, it's simply converted from one form to another. So the mass of reactants should always equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.

Therefore, if the total mass of the products is 30g, that means that the reactants have a mass of 17g + the other reactant to = 30g.

30g - 17g = 13g

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.

i think   the answer is c hope i'm right
