Question

If you start a chemical reaction with 38 grams of reactants, how many grams of a product would

you end up with?
Your answer:

Answer 1

38 g as well due to the law of conservation of mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we need to review the law of conservation of mass which states that matter cannot be neither created nor destroyed, thus, for chemical reactions, the mass of reactants at the beginning of the chemical reaction must equal the mass of products at the end in closed systems, that is why, since 38 g is the mass of reactants, the mass of the overall products is also 38 g.

Best regards.
