Question

sodium sulfate and barium chloride react with each other to form sodium chloride and barium sulfate as shown. which statement most accurately describes the mass of the reactants compared to the mass of the products? the mass of the reactants is the same as the mass of the products. the products have a greater mass because matter was created during the reaction. the reactants have a greater mass because some of the mass was converted to heat. the reactants have a greater mass because some matter was destroyed by the reaction.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products. No mass is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction under normal - non - nuclear conditions. Here, the reaction between sodium sulfate and barium chloride is a chemical reaction, and the mass of the reactants is the same as the mass of the products.

Answer:

The mass of the reactants is the same as the mass of the products.
