Question

24 cc Marsh gas (CH4) was mixed with 106 cc oxygen and
then exploded On cooling, the volume of the mixture became 82 cc,
of which 58 cc was unchanged oxygen Which law does this experiment
support? Explain with calculations

Yashwardhan Dixit · Answer

This supports law of conservation of mass in any chemical
reaction

The Law: In a chemical reaction, mass (or matter) can
neither be created, nor be destroyed As a result, the total sum of
mass of reactants is equal to the total sum of products
