Interpretation:
Whether the statement “a sample of potassium chloride from Chile contains the same percent by mass of potassium as one from Poland” obeys the law of mass conservation, the law of definite composition or the law of multiple proportions is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The law of mass conservation - Introduced by the famous French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, the law states that there is no change in the total mass of the substances that go into any physical or
The law of definite composition - This law can be defined as; a particular compound maintains an exact universal proportion of elements in its composition, irrespective of the source. The proposal for this law was made by Joseph Proust.
The multiple proportions law - The ratio of the weights of an element with variable mass is small whole numbers when it forms more than one compound by combining with an element with fixed weight.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement “a flashbulb contains magnesium and oxygen before use and magnesium oxide afterward, but its mass does not change”obeys the law of mass conservation, law of definite composition or the law of multiple proportions is to be determined.

The mass fraction of an element in a compound is defined as the ratio of the sum of the masses of all the atoms of that element to that of the mass of one mole of compound.
Mass percent of an element represents the percentage concentration of that element in a compound. It is equal to the mass fraction expressed as a percentage. The general formula to calculate the mass percent of an element A in a compound is as follows:

- Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4- 1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer.

Crude product data is the data collected after the reaction is finished, but before the product is purified. "Pure" product data is the data collected after attempted purification using recrystallization.
