Which best describes the law of conservation of mass?

A: The coefficients in front of the chemicals in the reactants should be based on the physical state of the products.
B: Products in the form of gasses are not considered a part of the total mass change from reactants to products.
C: When reactants contain both a solid and a liquid, the solid counts toward the overall mass and the liquid does not.
D: The mass of the reactants and products is equal and is not dependent on the physical state of the substances.

Respuesta :

D: The mass of the reactants and products is equal and is not dependent on the physical state of the substances.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass dates from Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 discovery that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. In other words, the mass of any one element at the beginning of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction.
