According to the law of conservation of mass, if you start a chemical reaction with 50g of a substance, and 25g of another, you should end the reaction with: (assume this is a closed system)
According to the law of conservation of mass, if you start a chemical reaction with 50g of a substance, and 25g of another, you should end the reaction with: (assume this is a closed system)
The answer is "75 grams of whatever new substances are created."
The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Thus, the amount of matter cannot change.
Because mass is always conserved in chemical reactions, balanced chemical equations have the same number and type of each atom on both sides of the equation. Products in chemical reactions are the result of the same number of atoms being rearranged into new substances.
The law of conservation of mass only applies in “closed systems” meaning that the mass and energy is not able to escape to the environment. For example, if you are boiling water on the stove and you put a lid on your pot, the water vapor will collect inside the pot. This is a closed system, and the amount of mass will not change, though it will be converted from liquid to gas. If you take the lid off your pot, the evaporated water will escape into your kitchen and the total amount of matter will change. You opened your system!

The answer is "A spoon in a cup of hot soup gets warmer."
When heat energy is transferred to objects, the kinetic energy of the particles changes. Heat energy always moves towards equilibrium, meaning that hotter objects transfer their heat to colder objects, and at an atomic level kinetic energy is transferred from faster moving particles to slower moving particles.
There are three types of heat transfer, conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction: transfer of heat between two atoms that are touching
Radiation: transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves (light) where particles are not touching
Convection: transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (liquid or gas) where hot particles rise and cold particles sink

Convection: transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (liquid or gas) where hot particles rise and cold particles sink
Compare your answer with the correct one above
What is the relationship between kinetic energy and thermal energy?
What is the relationship between kinetic energy and thermal energy?
The answer is, "as thermal energy increases, kinetic energy of the particles increases."
When heat energy is transferred to objects, the kinetic energy of the particles changes. Heat energy always moves towards equilibrium, meaning that hotter objects transfer their heat to colder objects, and at an atomic level kinetic energy is transferred from faster moving particles to slower moving particles.
There are three types of heat transfer, conduction, convection, and radiation.
