LAW OF COMBINATIONS: CONSERVATION OF MASS
Question 1. Barium chloride reacts with sodium sulphate and forms Barium sulphate and
sodium chloride. Which of the following statement is correct according to the law of
conservation of mass?
a.) The total mass of reactants, barium chloride, and sodium sulphate taken is greater than the
total mass of the products, barium sulphate, and sodium chloride.
b.) The total mass of reactants, barium chloride, and sodium sulphate taken is less than the total
mass of the products, barium sulphate, and sodium chloride.
c.) The total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products.
d.) None of the above
Question 2. If the law of conservation of mass holds true, how much sodium chloride will
react with 34.0 g of silver nitrate to produce 17 g of sodium nitrate and 28.70 g of silver
chloride?
a.) 12.35 g
b.) 11.70 g
c.) 9.32 g
d.) 8.46 g
Question 3. How much sodium carbonate is produced when 224.4 g of NaOH reacts with
88 g of CO2? The reaction produces 36 g of water.
Question. 4 grams of hydrogen reacts with some oxygen to make 36 grams of water. Figure
out how much oxygen must have been used by applying the law of conservation of mass?
Question 5. On heating, 10.0 grams of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), 4.4 g of carbon dioxide
(CO2) and 5.6 g of sodium oxide (Na2O) is produced. Show that this reaction obeys the law
of conservation of mass.
Answer to question 3. Sodium Hydroxide + Carbon dioxide → Sodium carbonate + Water
NaOH + CO2 → Na2CO3 + H2O
Mass given- Sodium Hydroxide = 222.4 g, Carbon dioxide = 88g, Water = 36g.
Let the mass of sodium carbonate be x grams.
According to the Law of conservation of Mass-
Mass of reactants = Mass of products
Mass of Sodium Hydroxide + Mass of Carbon dioxide = Mass of Sodium carbonate + Mass of
Water
222.4 g + 88 g = x g + 36 g
x g = 276.4 g
276.4 g of sodium carbonate is produced when 224.4 g of NaOH reacts with 88 g of CO2 along
with 36 g of water.
Answer to question 4. Hydrogen + Oxygen → Water
Mass given- Hydrogen = 4g, Oxygen = x g, Water = 36 g.
According to the Law of conservation of Mass-
Mass of reactants = Mass of products
4 g+ x g = 36 g
x g = 36 g – 4 g
x = 32 g.
Hence, we can say that 32 g of oxygen was used.
Answer to question 5. Sodium Carbonate → Carbon dioxide + Sodium oxide
Na2CO3 → CO2 +Na2O
Mass given- Sodium carbonate = 10 g, Carbon dioxide = 4.4 g, sodium oxide = 5.6 g.
According to the Law of conservation of Mass-
Mass of reactants = Mass of products
Mass of reactant = 10 g
Mass of product = 4.4 + 5.6 = 10 g.
Hence, this reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass.
