19 grams

1 answer

In a closed system where no matter is lost during the reaction, the law of conservation of mass states that the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products. Therefore, if the reactants have a mass of 38 grams, the products will also have a mass of 38 grams.

The correct response is:

38 grams
