Question Use the chemical reaction to answer the question. NaHCO3+HC2H3O2→NaC2H3O2+H2O+CO2 A student mixes baking soda (NaHCO3 ) and acetic acid (HC2H3O2 ) to produce a chemical reaction shown. Which statement about the reaction is correct? (1 point) Responses There are more H atoms after the reaction. There are more H atoms after the reaction. Some atoms gain mass after the reaction. Some atoms gain mass after the reaction. Atoms of Na are destroyed during the reaction. Atoms of Na are destroyed during the reaction. The atoms of the reactants are regrouped during the reaction.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the reaction is: The atoms of the reactants are regrouped during the reaction.

In a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged to form new substances, but no atoms are created or destroyed. Therefore, the number of each type of atom remains the same before and after the reaction.
