Question

If the reactants of a reaction have one S and four O atoms, what will the

products have?
A. Four S atoms and one O atom
B. One S atom and four O atoms
C. One S atom and one O atom
D. Four S atoms and four O atoms

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a law (very important) in chemistry.

The conservation of mass law states:

The same amount of matter exists before and after the change—none is created or destroyed

The reactants are on the left side of the equation, or the things that get added together to make new products.

Due to this law, there must be the same amount of each atom on both the product, and reactant side.

Thus, your answer would be 'B' as there is the same amount of both types of atoms.
