Consider a hypothetical reaction in which a and b are reactants and c and d are products. if 25 grams of a completely reacts with 26 grams of b to produce 14 grams of c, how many grams of d will be produced?

According to law of conservation of mass, the mass can neither be destroyed nor created in a chemical reaction.  The mass of reactants and mass of products are equal in a chemical reaction.

The reaction between A and B (reactants) to form C and D (products) is given as:

The mass of A = (given)

The mass of B = (given)

The mass of reactant = mass of A + mass of B

Substituting the values:

The mass of reactant =

The mass of C =

Let the mass of D =

So, the mass of product = mass of C  + mass of D

Substituting the values:

the mass of product =

According to law of conservation of mass:

the mass of reactant = the mass of product

Substituting the values,

Hence, the amount of D produced in the reaction is .

1. they vary with a higher number because boiling is way hotter than melting

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
