Math Skills Activity p 531 18 g of hydrogen react with 644 g of chlorine. How many grams of HCl are formed? Equation: H2 + Cl2 2HCl What we know: Mass H2 = 18 g Mass Cl2 = 644 g Mass HCl = ?
What equation? Put the values in! Solve! Check your answer. Law of conservation of mass Mass of reactants = mass of products Put the values in! 18 g + 633 g = mass HCl Solve! 651 g = mass HCl Check your answer.
