Answer 1

In a chemical reaction, the mass is conserved, meaning that the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products. Since the two molecules with a total mass of 76 amu react to form a single molecule, the mass of the molecule formed will also be 76 amu.

Therefore, the correct answer is 76 amu.
