What does the Law of Conservation of Mass state? (1 point)

Question

The total mass of all of the reactants prior to a chemical reaction must equal the total mass of all the products after the reaction.
• Matter cannot be rearranged during a chemical reaction.
Matter is neither created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged
The total mass of reaciants priorto a chemical reaction is greater than the mass of the product due to the release of energy.

Answer 1

The correct statement regarding the Law of Conservation of Mass is:

The total mass of all of the reactants prior to a chemical reaction must equal the total mass of all the products after the reaction.

This law states that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction, meaning that matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
