An imbalanced chemical reaction equation is against the law of________________?
Correct answer: D. Conservation of mass
- A. Multiple proportion
- B. None of these
- C. Constant proportion
- D. Conservation of mass
Explanation
A chemical equation must conserve the number of atoms of every element on both sides. An imbalanced equation therefore violates the law of conservation of mass.
