Question

How do balanced chemical equations show the

conservation of mass?
COD
They show that the atoms in the products
may be different than the reactants as long
as the mass does not change.
They show that the atoms in the products are
the same as in the reactants, but the number
of atoms must change
They show that the number of atoms of each
element is the same in the products and
reactants

Answer 1

C and the next question is also C

Step-by-step explanation:

on edge

Answer 2

Option C - They show that the number of atoms of each element is the same in the products and reactants.

The conservation of mass essentially states that no matter can be created or destroyed. It is because of the conservation of mass that we have to balance chemical equations in order to ensure than no atoms are destroyed or created.
