What quantities are conserved in a chemical reaction?
Answer:
Mass and charge…….
Explanation:
Chemical change conserves mass and charge absolutely. Start with \(10 \cdot g\) of reactant from all sources, and you end with \(10 \cdot g\) of product. Electrical charge is also conserved by a chemical reaction.
In contrast, is mass conserved in a nuclear reaction? Why or why not?
