The burning of 1.80 grams of sugar with 1.92 grams of sugar of oxygen gas what would aria and marcus expect the total of mass of all the products (including the gasses) to be

Question

The total mass of the products would be something less than 3.72 grams because some of the mass burned into nothing

the total mass of the products would be 3.72 grams because mass can not be gained or lost in the process

The total mass of the products would equal 1.80 grams because the mass of oxygen gas doesnt make a difference

The total mass of the products would be greater than 3.72 grams because the water is really heavy

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The total mass of the products would be 3.72 grams because mass cannot be gained or lost in the process.

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction. In this case, 1.80 grams of sugar and 1.92 grams of oxygen gas are the reactants, giving a total mass of 3.72 grams. Therefore, the total mass of all products produced by the reaction will also equal 3.72 grams.
