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)

76 amu

152 amu

38 amu

228 amu

1 answer

In a chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products. Therefore, if 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.

The correct answer is:

76 amu
