in a balanced chemical equation the mass of the reactants is equal to the?
a. atoms in a molecule
b. atomic mass of the elements
c. volume of the reactants
d. mass of the products
The mass of the product I got it right ur welcome 😎
In a balanced chemical equation, the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.
To balance a chemical equation, you need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. This is achieved by adjusting the coefficients (numbers in front of the chemical formulas) of the reactants and products. Balancing a chemical equation is fundamental in chemistry because atoms are neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction.
The law of conservation of mass states that the mass of the reactants must be equal to the mass of the products in a balanced chemical equation. This means that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the substances involved before the reaction must be equal to the total mass of the resulting substances after the reaction.
Therefore, the correct answer is "d. mass of the products."
