Question

which of the following is true of matter during chemical reactions? during chemical reactions, some matter is created and some matter is destroyed. during chemical reactions, matter is neither created nor destroyed; it just changes form.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass in chemistry, during a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products. Matter is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; it only changes form. For example, in the reaction \(2H_2 + O_2
ightarrow2H_2O\), the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the reactants are rearranged to form water molecules in the product, but the total number of atoms of each element (hydrogen and oxygen) remains the same.

Answer:

"During chemical reactions, matter is neither created nor destroyed; it just changes form" is the correct statement.
