Answer 1

To construct a statement that supports the argument that the chemical equation violates the law of conservation of matter, you can phrase it as follows:

"There are more **oxygen** atoms on the **right side** of the arrow than on the **left side**."

This statement indicates that the number of atoms is not balanced, thus supporting the argument regarding the violation of the law of conservation of matter.
