### Question 5
**Which 2 statements explain the observation that the total mass after the compounds react is less than the sum of the masses before they react?**
The correct responses are:
- **Some of the mass has escaped as a gas.**
- **Law of conservation of mass. Mass cannot be created nor destroyed.**

The first statement explains that gas during the reaction can escape the system, leading to a loss in measured mass, while the second statement emphasizes that mass is conserved in a closed system, hence it can’t be destroyed or created, just transformed.
