The law of conservation of mass states that mass or matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or recombined.
For chemical equations, this law means that each element must be accounted for equally both for reactants and products. So the same numbers of each atom must match on each side, hence the necessity for balancing the chemical equation accurately. This created a field of chemistry called Stoichiometry, which accounts for the conservation of matter throughout chemical reactions and processes.
You’ll need to be sure to count all the atoms in each side of the chemical equation.
Answer:
357.475
Explanation:
First you need periodic table and you have to look for mass
Fe = 3 x 55.845 = 167.535
P = 2 x 30.97 = 61.94
o = 4 x 2 so 8 oxygen = 8 x 16 = 128
add all and you get 357.475
