Consider a hypothetical reaction in which a and b are reactants, and c and d are products. if 26 grams of a completely reacts with 12 grams of b to produce 14 grams of c, how many grams of d will be produced.

The answer to your question is: 24 grams of D

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to remember the Lavoisier law of conservation of mass, which says that in a chemical reaction matter is neither created nor destroyed.

This means that the amount of matter stays the same.

Then, the reaction is

                    A      +      B      ⇒       C      +      D

                 26 g         12 g             14 g            x

mass                              

of reactants      38 g                              ?          mass of products, but it must be

                                                                          equal to the mass of products

Then                14g + x = 38

                        x = 38 - 14

                        x = 24 g of D
