1.7 g of `AgNO_(3)` dissolved in 100 g of water wire mixed with 0.585 g of NaCl dissolved in 100 g of water when 1.435 g of AgCl and 0.85 g of `NaNO_(3)` were formed. Justify that the data illustrates law of conservation of mass.

Explanation

Since water has not taken part in the reaction, its mass (200 g) will count towards both sides
Mass of reactants `= 1.7 + 0.585 + 200 = 202.285 g`
Mass of products `= 1.435 + 0.85 + 200 = 202.285 g`
`:.` Law of conservation of mass is verified.
