equation demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Matter?
(1 point)
There is one CH₄ molecule on the reactant side and one CO₂ molecule on the product side of the
reaction.
There are four oxygen atoms, four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom on both the reactant and
product side of the reaction.
There are two O₂ molecules on the reactant side and two H₂O molecules on the product side in the
reaction.
The reaction does not satisfy the Law of Conservation of Matter.
1 answer
The correct answer is: There are four oxygen atoms, four hydrogen atoms, and one carbon atom on both the reactant and product side of the reaction.
This statement demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Matter because it indicates that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the chemical equation, meaning that matter is neither created nor destroyed in the reaction.
