CO2 + 6H2O -->
C6H12O6 + 6O2
Question 2
Evaluate the following statements about the Law of Conservation of Matter and mark if they are true or false. (2 points)
True False
During a chemical reaction matter is produced from nothing.

If you add up all the atoms of one element in the reactants and atoms of that same element in the products you will have the same number.

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, just rearranged.

Magicians can make matter just by waving their hand.

1 answer

Completion of the Chemical Equation:

The provided equation is already balanced in terms of the number of atoms of each element on both sides, thus supporting the Law of Conservation of Matter:

\[ \text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2 \]

Evaluation of Statements:

  1. During a chemical reaction matter is produced from nothing.
    False
    Matter cannot be created from nothing; it can only change forms.

  2. If you add up all the atoms of one element in the reactants and atoms of that same element in the products you will have the same number.
    True
    This is a direct reflection of the Law of Conservation of Matter.

  3. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, just rearranged.
    True
    This statement accurately describes the Law of Conservation of Matter.

  4. Magicians can make matter just by waving their hand.
    False
    Magicians use illusions and tricks, but they do not create matter.
