Concept Introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that any system which is closed to the passing of energy and matter has it mass constant, because the mass of the system can never be changed. Therefore, no quantity can be removed from or added to it. So, the amount of mass remains conserved for all the chemical changes.
If a reaction is consistent with the law of conservation of mass, it means that in the chemical reaction, the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products are equal to each other.

- This year, like many past years, you begin to feel very sleepy alter eating a large helping of Thanksgiving turkey. Some people attribute this sleepiness to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in turkey. Tryptophan can be used by the body to produce serotonin, which can calm the brains activity and help to bring on sleep. a. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in a 0.25-lb serving of turkey? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 1.0% of the turkey mass.) b. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in 0.25 quart of milk? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 2.0% of milk by mass and that the density of milk is 1.04 kg/L.)arrow_forward1. The rusting of iron is due to its reaction with oxygen. An iron nail weighing 8.531 g was left outdoors for a period of one year. After the one year it was found to have a mass of 12.197 g. How many grams of oxygen did the nail react with? 2. What is the temperature of the deep freezer in question 11 above, expressed in Kelvin? (Please note that the constant 273.15 is an exact number).arrow_forward1. A 7.45 g sample of calcium carbonate completely decomposes into calcium oxide (lime) and carbon dioxide gas when heated. If 4.17 g calcium oxide is produced, what mass of carbon dioxide must have been formed? 2. A car averages 28.5 miles per gallon of gasoline. How many liters of gasoline will be needed for a trip of 415 km? Some conversion factors that may be helpful are the following: 1qt 0.946 L 1 mile 1.609 km 4 qt 1 gal 1 ft 12 in 3.

- Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can. • Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under the funnel turns a deep purple. • Sample B is a solid yellow cube with a total mass of 50.0 g. The cube is ground to a fine orange powder and added to a 500 mL beaker full of water. The beaker is stirred vigorously. Some of orange powder settles to the bottom of the beaker, and some rises to the top and floats on the water. When the powder at both the bottom and the top of the beaker is filtered out, dried, and weighed, the total mass is measured to be 50.1 g. pure substance Is sample A made from a pure substance or a mixture?
