Question

1. the masses of the reactants and products of the following reaction are given. answer the questions below. hcl + naoh → nacl + h₂o mass 36g + 40g → 58g + 18g ii) what is the total mass of the products? ____

Explanation:

Step1: Identify product masses

The products are NaCl (58g) and H₂O (18g).

Step2: Sum the product masses

Total mass = 58g + 18g = 76g. Also, by law of conservation of mass, reactants' total (36g + 40g = 76g) equals products' total.

Answer:

76g
