Question

Analyze the pieces of the chemical reaction.
16 grams CH4
44 grams CO2
64 grams O2
36 grams H2O
Organize the reactants (what was present before the reaction) and the products (what is present after the reaction) so that the law of conservation of mass has been observed. Explain the law of conservation of mass and describe how the equation represents the law of conservation of mass.

Answer 1

The number of atoms will not change
16g CH4 is 1C and 4H
do the others the same way, then balance the two sides so they have the same # atoms in total, for each element
