One piece of matter is divided into two pieces of matter. Identify the mass of the two new pieces combined. A. It's the same as the original piece
B. It is greater than the original piece
C. It is less than the original piece
D. It cannot be measured
PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU

A. It's the same as the original piece

Explanation:

The piece of matter is the same as that of the original piece.

When the mass of the two new pieces are combined, it the same as the single and whole one.

Mass is the amount of matter contained within a substance.

a chemical reaction

explanation:

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
