According to the law of conservation of matter, we know that the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved. The reactant in this model is hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to produce water and oxygen gas. How many water molecules must be added to complete this model?

Astudent pours 10.0 g of salt into a container of water and observes the amount of time it takes for the salt to dissolve. she then repeats the process using the same amounts of salt and water but this time she slowly stirs the mixture while it is dissolving. the student performs the experiment one more time but this time she stirs the mixture rapidly. the dependent variable in this experiment is: time for salt to dissolve speed of stirring amount of water mass of salt
