Answer: Yes, the mass of the reactants always equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
Explanation:
In a balanced chemical reaction, the mass of reactants is always equal to the mass of product that is a chemical reaction follows follows 'Law of Conservation of Mass'.
The law states that ' in a chemical reaction mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.
For example: [tex]2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O[/tex]
Mass of the reactants = Mass of products
[tex]2(2\times 1amu)+1(2\times 16amu)=2(2\times 1amu+16amu)[/tex]
36 amu = 36 amu
Yes, the mass of the reactants always equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
