Matter cannot be rearranged during a chemical reaction.
Matter cannot be rearranged during a chemical reaction.

Matter is neither created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.
Matter is neither created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.

The total mass of all of the reactants prior to a chemical reaction must equal the total mass of all the products after the reaction.
The total mass of all of the reactants prior to a chemical reaction must equal the total mass of all the products after the reaction.

The total mass of reactants prior to a chemical reaction is greater than the mass of the product due to the release of energy.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**The total mass of all of the reactants prior to a chemical reaction must equal the total mass of all the products after the reaction.**

This statement accurately reflects the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that in a closed system, mass is conserved during a chemical reaction.
