Answer:
A. The total mass of the reactants in a reaction equals the total mass of the product(s).
Explanation:
The law of conversation of matter tells us that in a chemical reaction, matter is never created or destroyed, it's simply converted from one form to another. So the mass of reactants should always equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
Answer: For example, the Li 2 O content of the principal lithium mineral spodumene (LiAlSi 2 O 6) is 8.03%. Burning lithium metal produces lithium oxide. Lithium oxide is produced by the thermal decomposition of lithium peroxide at 300-400°C.
