The total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products according to the law of conservation of mass. Since the mass of the product, mercuric oxide (HgO), is 433.2 grams, the total mass of the reactants (mercury and oxygen) will also be 433.2 grams.

So, the total mass of the mercury and oxygen on the reactants side is **433.2 grams**.
