To analyze the equation given:
\[
(24 + 16) + (12 + 16 + 16) = 84
\]
Let's break it down.
- The left side consists of two groups:
- The first group is \(24 + 16\), which sums up to \(40\).
- The second group is \(12 + 16 + 16\), which sums up to \(44\).
So, the left side simplifies as follows:
\[
40 + 44 = 84
\]
This indicates that the total atomic mass from the reactants equals the total atomic mass of the products.
Now, let's analyze the statements:
1. **Two molecules, each with the same mass, combined to make one molecule.**
- This doesn't fit because we have different masses in the groups.
2. **A molecule with 40 atoms combined with a molecule with 48 atoms to produce a molecule with 84 atoms.**
- This also isn't correct since while the total mass is 84, the number of atoms has not been clearly established from the given equation.
3. **Two molecules, each with two atoms, combined to make one molecule.**
- This is not a correct interpretation of the masses presented.
4. **A molecule with two atoms combined with a molecule with three atoms to produce a molecule with a mass of 84 u.**
- This is incorrect because we don't have information on the number of atoms corresponding to the atomic masses given.
Since none of the statements correctly represent the information derived from the atomic masses in the original equation, it highlights a common misunderstanding of how atomic mass relates to the number of atoms.
Given all this, none of the responses accurately reflect the reaction based on your provided equation. Please double-check the specific statements you are considering.
