Question

Which statement best describes how chemical equations demonstrate conservation of mass?

Answer 1

The number of reactants is the same as the number of products is the best statement that describes the conservation of mass in chemical equation

Explanation:

• The conservation of mass conveys that the mass of an seperate system is neither destroyed nor created by the chemical reactions.
• Therefore there should be the same amount of matter when compared to the reactant and product side.
• If the reaction exists by satisfying the above condition it is said to be the balanced chemical equation.
• The Lavoisier stated the law on conservation of mass.
