Question 3

A log burns in a campfire, leaving much less mass in the ashes than the original log. According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, what happened to the matter?

54.32 g

Question 5

Which postulate of Dalton’s Atomic Theory explains why the mass of reactants equals the mass of products in a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

Atoms of an element are not changed into atoms of a different element by chemical reactions; atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.

Question 6

Which chemical law is illustrated when two samples of carbon monoxide are decomposed and both show the same ratio of oxygen to carbon?

Accepted Answer

Law of Definite Proportions

Question 7

Nitrogen dioxide contains 2.28 g oxygen per 1.00 g nitrogen, while dinitrogen monoxide contains 0.570 g oxygen per 1.00 g nitrogen. What law do these results illustrate?

Accepted Answer

Law of Multiple Proportions

Question 8

Which statement best captures the difference between the law of definite proportions and the law of multiple proportions?

Accepted Answer

The law of definite proportions applies to two or more samples of the same compound, while the law of multiple proportions applies to two different compounds containing the same two elements.

Question 9

In his early periodic table, Mendeleev arranged the known elements into groups primarily according to what criterion?
