Last ! during an investigation a scientist heated 2.76 g of silver carbonate till it decomposed to leave a silver residue. the total mass of the silver residue formed was 2.16 g. does the law of conservation of mass hold true in this case? use complete sentences to justify your answer based on numerical calculations.

The equation that shows the decomposition of silver carbonate are;

2Ag2CO3 > 4Ag + 2CO2 + O2

From the periodic table:

Mass of silver = 107.8682 grams

Mass of carbon = 12 grams

Mass of oxygen = 16 grams

Molar mass of Ag2CO3 = 2(107.8682) + 12 + 3(16) = 275.7364 grams

From the balanced equation above:

2(275.7362) = 551.4728 grams of Ag2CO3 produces 4(107.8682) = 431.4728 grams of Ag

Thus, in order to know the mass of Ag produced from 2.76 grams of Ag2CO3, we'll use the cross multiplication method;

Mass of Ag produced = (2.76 × 431.4728) / (551.4728) = 2.16 grams

Based on the calculations demonstrated above, the law of conservation of mass is applied.

unicellular organisms, like bacteria, are able to perform all life functions within one single cell. multicellular organisms need many different types of cells to carry out the same life processes. each of these special types of cells has a different structure that it perform a specific function.

answer: the correct option is d. enzyme

lactase and carbonic anhydrase are the examples of enzymes.

lactase is an enzyme, which is present in the small intestine of mammals. it in the digestion of the disaccharide, lactose ( milk sugar) by converting it into two monosachharide, which are glucose and galactose.

carbonic anhydrase is present in the red blood cells. this enzyme plays significant role in the transport of co₂. it in the conversion of co₂ and h₂o into carbonic acid, which is then dissociated into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.
