Answer: The results agree with the law of conservation of mass

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. On the reactant side, the total mass of reactants is 14.3g and the total product masses is also 14.3g. That implies that no mass was !most in the reaction. The sum of masses on the left hand side corresponds with sum of masses on the right hand side of the reaction equation.
