I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Calcium and water are the reactants in this chemical reaction, whereas calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are the products that are formed. once the reaction reaches completion, the total mass of the products will be equal to the original mass of the reactants.
