The correct statement about the reaction \(2H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O + O_2\) is:
The H2O and O2 produced have the same mass as the original H2O2.
This is consistent with the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
