Explain why the model of this chemical reaction obeys the Law of Conservation of Matter. A) because there are the same number of atoms of each element shown on both sides B) because they both start and end with diatomic (two-atomed) molecules C) because they both start and end with the same types of particles D) because they both start and end with two sets of particles

(A) because there are the same number of atoms of each element shown on both sides

Explanation:

The Law of conservation of mass says that in a reaction the matter of the products should be equivalent to the matter of the reactants and the mass of the system should remain constant over time.

In a chemical reaction, while atoms bond is breaking of 1 substance than new bonds are formed in another substance and new substances are formed. However, in the overall reaction, they keep the same elements, no new elements can go and come from the outside. For example:

HCl + NaOH > NaCl + H2O

In this reaction, on both sides the same number of atoms of each element are present.

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
