Question

What does the Law of Conservation of Mass state?
(1 point)
The total mass of reactants prior to a chemical
• reaction is greater than the mass of the product due to the release of energy.
• Matter is neither created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.
Matter cannot be rearranged during a chemical
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.

Answer 1

The correct statement regarding the Law of Conservation of Mass 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 principle asserts that in a closed system, mass is conserved and does not change during a chemical reaction.
