Question

which of the following statements support the law of mass conservation in a chemical reaction? a atoms can be created b atoms can be destroyed c atoms can be rearranged d none of the above

Explanation:

The law of mass conservation states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Atoms are just rearranged to form new substances. Options A (atoms can be created) and B (atoms can be destroyed) violate the law. Option C (atoms can be rearranged) aligns with the law as it shows that atoms are conserved (not created or destroyed) but just change their bonding and arrangement during a chemical reaction.

Answer:

C. Atoms can be rearranged
