Question

Which of the following reactions is not correct according to the law of conservation of mass ?

(a) $2 M g (s) + O_{2} (g) \to 2 M g O (s)$

(b) $C_{3} H_{8} (g) + O_{2} (g) \to C O_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (g)$

(c) $P_{4} (s) + 5 O_{2} (g) \to P_{4} O_{10} (s)$

(d) $C H_{4} (g) + 2 O_{2} (g) \to C O_{2} (g) + 2 H_{2} O (g)$

Solution

(b)

In this equation,

$C_{3} H_{8} (g) 44 g + O_{2} (g) 32 g \to C O_{2} (g) 44 g + H_{2} O (g) 18 g$

i.e., mass of reactants $\neq$ mass of products.

Hence, law of conservation of mass is not followed.

Which of the following reactions is not correct according to the law of conservation of mass ? (a) 2Mg(s)+O2(g)→2MgO(s) (b) C3H8(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g) (c) P4(s)+5O2(g)→P4O10(s) (d) CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g)

(b) In this equation, C3H8(g)44g+O2(g)32g→CO2(g)44g+H2O(g)18g i.e., mass of reactants ≠ mass of products. Hence, law of conservation of mass is not followed.
