Answer 1

Answer:

A. The total mass of the reactants in a reaction equals the total mass of the product(s).

Explanation:

The law of conversation of matter tells us that in a chemical reaction, matter is never created or destroyed, it's simply converted from one form to another. So the mass of reactants should always equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
