Answer:
C. 22 grams because mass cannot be created or destroyed
Step-by-step explanation:
In this reaction and in any chemical reaction, mass is expected to always be conserved.
According to the law of conservation of matter "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another".
- Based on this law, the mass of reactants and products must be the same in a chemical reaction.
- So, the sum of the mass of the reactants must be equal to the mass of the product.
