Question

Principle of atomic conservation

Answer 1

The Principle of Atom Conservation(POAC) states that the total number of atoms of reactants must equal the number of atoms of products.

Explanation:

The POAC comes from the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Mass of atoms of an element in reactant=lmass of atoms of an element in the product

Number of atoms of element in reactants =number of atoms of element in the product

Moles of atoms of element in reactant=lmoles of atoms of element in the product

You do not need a balanced equation to solve a stoichiometry problem by the POAC method.
