POAC
« on: October 14, 2012, 08:34:44 AM »
K2CO3 gives K2Zn3[Fe(CN)6]2 through many steps of reactions. If we have to apply POAC can we apply it for Potassium atoms and also ; is there a criteria as to which atoms in a compound remain conserved during the chemical reaction?

All atoms are conserved, period.

I had to google to find out POAC = Principle of Atom Conservation. This is equivalent to principle of mass/matter conservation.

Well , since K2CO3 ------------> K2Zn3[Fe(CN)6]2
, you can apply POAC for potassium atoms (which is safest in this case).
