The correct statement about the reaction is:
The H2O and O2 produced have the same mass as the original H2O2.
This is based on the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Therefore, the total mass of the reactants (H2O2) will equal the total mass of the products (H2O and O2).
