The correct response is:

it shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during a reaction.

A balanced chemical equation demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass by showing that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation, indicating that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Yes, I am sure. The statement "it shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during a reaction" correctly reflects how a balanced chemical equation supports the Law of Conservation of Mass. This law states that during a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products, meaning that the number of each type of atom remains the same, and none are lost or created during the reaction. A balanced equation visually represents this concept by having equal numbers of each atom on both sides of the equation.
