I don’t need any formulas just need to know if it is or isn’t true to the law of conservation of mass and why.

Respuesta :

Yes, the law of conservation of mass holds.

Explanation:

In every chemical reaction, mass is always conserved. This implies that in chemical reaction, the process proceeds maintaining the same set of atom in the same proportion without new ones forming.

  • From the description given, decomposition of the Silver carbonate will produce a silver residue with the given mass.
  • The other mass that seems lost can be examined to be given off as carbon dioxide gas which is the other product of the reaction and oxygen.
  • Therefore, since the products are silver, carbon dioxide and oxygen, the remaining mass is that of the carbon dioxide and oxygen. It is not lost.
