Answer: (C) conservation of matter
Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.
A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.
For example:
Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol
Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol
Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol
Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol
As,
Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side
Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.
Each isotope of Oxygen has a different number of neutrons
<h3>Further explanation </h3>The elements in nature have several types of isotopes
Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes
Isotopes are atoms has the same number of protons but has a different number of neutrons.
So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)
Some of the isotopes of oxygen are:
Each isotope has 8 protons and 8 electrons but has a different number of neutrons
For O-16: number of neutrons = 16-8 = 8
For O-17: number of neutrons = 17-8 = 9
For O-18: number of neutrons = 18-8 = 10
