Well, according to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reacting atoms must equal the total mass of the final rearranged products produced through the reaction. Assuming that both products are the only products produced, it would constitute the total matter produced, and since each product has a mass of 25 grams each. The total would be 50 grams. Thus the total mass of the reactants also would need to be 50 grams, as no matter is lost in a chemical reaction.
