The correct response is:
The total mass of the products would be 3.72 grams, because mass cannot be gained or lost in the process.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction. Therefore, when burning 1.80 grams of sugar and 1.92 grams of oxygen gas, the total mass of the products will be the sum of these two masses, which is 3.72 grams.
