Question

the law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be nor reactants = what the reaction with products = what the reaction with (what is produced) label the equation below: 2h₂ + o₂ → 2h₂o

Explanation:

• The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.
• Reactants are what the reaction starts with.
• Products are what the reaction ends with (what is produced).
• In the equation \(2H_2 + O_2

ightarrow2H_2O\), \(2H_2\) and \(O_2\) are reactants (the substances that undergo the reaction), and \(2H_2O\) is the product (the substance formed as a result of the reaction). The arrow (\(
ightarrow\)) indicates the direction of the reaction.

Answer:

• The Law of Conservation of Mass: created, destroyed
• Reactants: starts
• Products: ends
• In \(2H_2 + O_2

ightarrow2H_2O\): \(2H_2\) and \(O_2\) (reactants), \(2H_2O\) (product)
