Question

Suppose you burn a substance in the air reactants and produce smoke and ash products the law of conservation of mass states that the mass of your reactants should be ______ the mass of your products?

Answer 1

The law of conservation of mass states that- "mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants."

Therefore, the mass of the reactant is the same as the mass of the products.
