Use the chemical reaction to answer the question. ​CaCO3→CO2​+CaO A scientist heats 30 grams of calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) in the chemical reaction shown. What is the total mass of the products? (1 point) Responses 60 grams 60 grams 30 grams 30 grams 15 grams 15 grams 10 grams

Answer 1

In a chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products. In this case, the reactant is calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), and if the scientist starts with 30 grams of CaCO₃, then according to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the products (CO₂ and CaO) will also be 30 grams.

So the correct response is 30 grams.
