Question
the equation below shows the products formed when a solution of silver nitrate (agno₃) reacts with a solution of sodium chloride (nacl). agno₃ + nacl → nano₃ + agcl (reactants) → (products). in this equation, the total mass of the reactants is a equal to the mass of agcl b less than the mass of agcl c equal to the total mass of the products d greater than the total mass of the products.
Step1: Recall law of conservation of mass
In a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products. This is because atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.
