Consider a hypothetical reaction in which A and B are reactants, and C and D are products. If 26 grams of A completely reacts with 12 grams of B to produce 14 grams of C, how many grams of D will be produced.

The answer to your question is: 24 grams of D

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to remember the Lavoisier law of conservation of mass, which says that in a chemical reaction matter is neither created nor destroyed.

This means that the amount of matter stays the same.

Then, the reaction is

A + B ⇒ C + D

26 g 12 g 14 g x

mass

of reactants 38 g? mass of products, but it must be

equal to the mass of products

Then 14g + x = 38

x = 38 - 14

x = 24 g of D
