Which of the following equations demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass? (1 point)

OCH +02 → C+2H20
O CHA + 02 → CO2 + H20
O CHa + 02 → CO2 + HO
OCH + 02 → CO2 + H20

1 answer

The equation that demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass is:

C₆H₁₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

However, if "O CHA" is a typographical error for "C₆H₁₄" (or similar), and assuming the last option is meant to be:

C₆H₈ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Please check the options carefully and see which one lists equivalent numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation. If the correct option is the last one listed, that would demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass, as the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms is conserved.

If you could clarify the chemical formulas for accuracy, I could provide a more definitive answer. Based on standard combustion reactions, the second option appears to be the formulation of a complete reaction, while the last one also seems correct at a glance:

C₂H₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

Choose based on structure and composition.
