Question

In a chemical reaction, two molecules with a total mass of 76 amu react to form a single molecule. What is the mass of the molecule that is formed?(1 point) Responses 76 amu 76 amu 152 amu 152 amu 228 amu 228 amu 38 amu 38 amu Skip to navigation

Answer 1

In a chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system. Therefore, if two molecules with a total mass of 76 amu react to form a single molecule, the mass of the resulting molecule will also be 76 amu.

So, the answer is **76 amu**.
