Multiple choice

What is the mass of the products formed when 10 g of methane (CH4) reacts completely with 20 g of oxygen (O2)?

  1. 10 g

  2. 20 g

  3. 30 g

  4. 40 g
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants (10 g CH4 + 20 g O2) is equal to the total mass of the products. Therefore, the mass of the products is 30 g.

Multiple choice

In a chemical reaction, 5 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) react with 3 moles of oxygen gas (O2) to form water (H2O). How many moles of water are produced?

  1. 3 moles

  2. 5 moles

  3. 8 moles

  4. 10 moles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total number of moles of the reactants (5 moles H2 + 3 moles O2) is equal to the total number of moles of the products. Therefore, 10 moles of water are produced.

Multiple choice
