Question

What explanation from the evidence within the chemical equation BEST supports the idea that matter is conserved in a chemical reaction? A There are the same number of atoms of oxygen and hydrogen in the reactants as there are in the products. B There are the same number of elements in the reactants as there are in the products. C More reactants, hydrogen and oxygen, were added to make the product, water. D Two reactants, hydrogen and oxygen, combined to make one product, water.

Answer 1

its A. i just did dat

Answer 2

A There are the same number of atoms of oxygen and hydrogen in the reactants as there are in the products.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matter is conserved in a chemical equation if there are no loss of atoms. That means, total number of atoms of elements must be the same as the total number of element on the product side. The correct option is;

A. There are the same number of atoms of oxygen and hydrogen in the reactants as there are in the products.
