The answer is B because the Law of Conservation of mass states that matter can not be created nor destroyed. The mass from reactants MUST equal the mass of products.

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B. conservation of mass

Step-by-step explanation:

A.molecular changes I think there is no molecular changes law so this option is discarded.

B.conservation of mass This law states that the number of products is equal to the amount of reactants so if chemical equations are balanced, they satisfied this law.

C.conservation of energy This law states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant and is different from the chemical equations so this option is discarded.

D.products and reactants are elements of a chemical reaction but they are not a law, so this option is discarded.
