Question

based on the law of conservation of matter, describe the relationship between the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products. a the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products. b the mass of the reactants is less than the mass of the products. c the mass of the products is always greater than the mass of the reactants. d the mass of the reactants is greater than the mass of the products; some mass is lost when atoms recombine.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. This means that the total mass of the reactants (the substances that undergo the reaction) must equal the total mass of the products (the substances formed as a result of the reaction).

Answer:

A. The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.
