Answer 1

In a chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. Therefore, the mass of the formed molecule is equal to the total mass of the reactants.

Since the two molecules have a total mass of 76 amu, the mass of the molecule that is formed will also be:

76 amu.
