What happens to the mass of the product from the question Show that mass is conserved in the following
above? equation.
It is the sum of the r atomic masses (Ar) of the
atoms.  Use the Ar values to calculate the Mr of both sides of the
 equation.
Calculate the relative formula mass for the following.
Show your working out.  Ar of H = 1

Ar of C = 12 Ar of O = 16
Ar of H=1 d
% mass = Ar × number of atoms × 100
Ar of O = 16 Mr of the compound 2H2 + O2 2H20 h
Rearrange the equation to calculate the mass of the
Ar of N = 14
dissolved substance when the concentration is 15g/dm3
Using the equation above, calculate the % mass of sodium
and the volume is 0.8dm3.
Example: (Na) in NaCl.
