152 amu
152 amu

Answer 1

In a chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products. Since the two molecules have a combined mass of 76 amu, the mass of the single molecule formed will also be 76 amu.

The correct response is:

76 amu
