Question
- when water is changed into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, what happens to the total weight of the water and the gases? the weight of the gases is not related to the water the weight of the gases is the same as the water the weight of the gases is less than the water the weight of the gases is more than the water
Brief Explanations
According to the law of conservation of mass, in a chemical reaction like the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen gases, the total mass before and after the reaction remains the same. The mass of the reactant (water) is equal to the combined mass of the products (hydrogen and oxygen gases).
