Question

when 5 grams of silver nitrate are added to a 50 gram solution of potassium chloride, 2 grams of silver chloride form in the solution as a precipitate. after the reaction, the total weight of the solution is 55 grams. which evidence from the experiment supports the law of conservation of mass? the final weight of the product is less than the weight of the reactants the weight of the precipitate is less than the amount of silver nitrate the weight of the precipitate is greater than the amount of silver nitrate the final weight of the product equals the weight of the reactants

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In this experiment, the mass of reactants (5 grams of silver nitrate + 50 grams of potassium chloride solution = 55 grams) is equal to the mass of products (55 grams of the final solution). This equality of masses supports the law.

Answer:

the final weight of the product equals the weight of the reactants
