Certainly! Let's apply the law of conservation of mass to explain how the interaction of these molecules can be understood. The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Instead, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.
Let's break down the reaction:
1. Initially, we are given a specific amount of molecules or substances, which are conserved throughout the reaction.
2. When the two types of molecules are mixed together, their interaction can lead to the formation of different products. The process involves converting the reactants into the product while ensuring the total mass remains unchanged.
Given:
- Initial amount of money: \[tex]$23
- Number of bagels: 5
- Cost per bagel: \$[/tex]3
First, let's calculate the total money spent on buying the bagels.
Step 1: Calculating Money Spent
Each bagel costs \[tex]$3, and you are buying 5 bagels. Therefore, the total money spent is:
\[ \text{Money spent} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel} \]
\[ \text{Money spent} = 5 \times 3 = \$[/tex]15 \]
Step 2: Calculating Remaining Money
Once you have spent money on the bagels, you need to subtract the money spent from the initial amount to find out how much is left:
[tex]\[ \text{Money left} = \text{Initial amount} - \text{Money spent} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Money left} = 23 - 15 = \$8 \][/tex]
Hence, the amount of money spent on the bagels is \[tex]$15, and the amount of money left after buying the bagels is \$[/tex]8.
