This balanced chemical equation shows that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side (Mg, O, H, and N) is equal to the number of atoms on the product side, illustrating the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Thus, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
