Respuesta :

Mass of liquid reactant A is 11g.

as we know that,

reactant = product

from conservation of mass

so, liquid reactant A + liquid reactant B = liquid product + solid product

substituting the values, we get,

liquid reactant A + 9 = 8 + 12

liquid reactant A + 9 = 20

liquid reactant A = 20 - 9

liquid reactant A = 11g

Hence, mass of the liquid reactant A is 11g.

what is a reactant ?

A reagent, also known as an analytical reagent, is a substance or compound that is added to a system in chemistry to bring about a chemical reaction or check to see whether one happens. Although the terms "reagent" and "reactant" are frequently used synonymously, "reactant" refers to a material that is consumed during a chemical reaction.

Mass of liquid reactant A is 11g.
