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)

Question

76 amu

38 amu

152 amu

228 amu

Answer 1

In a chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products. Since the two molecules have a total mass of 76 amu and they react to form a single molecule, the mass of the molecule that is formed will also be 76 amu.

Therefore, the answer is:

76 amu
