Concept introduction:
According to law of conservation of mass, total mass of reactant and product in a
Answer to Problem 51A
47 g.
Explanation of Solution
The mass of the sample of X and Y to form compound XY2 is 13 g and 34 g respectively.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of a substance remains the same before and after the reaction. The mass of product formed after the reaction of X and Y will be sum of masses of X and Y as follows:
Also, the mass of product formed is equal to the mass of reactants therefore,
The mass of reactants is 47 g.
