Responses

The reaction creates new atoms of H2O and O2.
The reaction creates new atoms of H 2 O and O 2 .

H2O2 has the same properties as H2O and O2.
H 2 O 2 has the same properties as H 2 O and O 2 .

Atoms of H2 and O2 are lost during the reaction.
Atoms of H 2 and O 2 are lost during the reaction.

The H2O and O2 produced have the same mass as the original H2O2.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the reaction \(2H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O + O_2\) is:

**The H2O and O2 produced have the same mass as the original H2O2.**

This is consistent with the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
