Mass of empty evaporating dish + watch glass 65.362 g B Mass of dish + watch glass + initial solid 65.864 g C Mass of dish + watch glass + carbonate 65.705 g D Mass of dish + watch glass + chloride 65.716 g Use the data to calculate the mass (in grams) of the carbonate that Jack obtained after the initial heating of his unknown solid.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
