The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products. Therefore, if the total mass of the reactants (sodium and chlorine) is 58.44 AMU, the total mass of the product (sodium chloride, NaCl) would also be 58.44 AMU.
sodium reacts with chlorine to form the compound sodium chloride or salt the chemical formula below shows how the two elements combined into a compound if the total mass of the reactants is 58.44 AMU what would be the total mass of the product
