Question

Help please

If a reaction equation is balanced, then _____. Select all that apply. *it will follow the law of conservation of mass there will be coefficients written in front of the formulas *the mass of products will be equal to the mass of the reactants the mass of the products will be greater than the mass of the reactants

Answer 1

the answer is 1 and 3. 

Answer 2

The correct options are these:

1. It will follow the law of conservation of mass.

2.The mass of products will be equal to the mass of the reactants.

The law of conservation of mass states that ' matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Thus, if a chemical equation is balanced, the mass of the reactant at the beginning of the reaction will be equal to the mass of the product after the reaction. This shows that the chemical reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass.
