The statement that best represents the law of conservation of matter with regard to chemical reactions is:
The reactants and products have the same number and type of atoms, but the atoms may be recombined.
This statement accurately reflects that in a chemical reaction, the total mass and the number of each type of atom remain constant, even though the atoms can be rearranged to form different molecules.
