Question

what does the law of conservation of mass state? (1 point)
matter cannot be rearranged during a chemical reaction
the total mass of reactants prior to a chemical reaction is greater than the mass of the product due to the release of energy.
matter is neither created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.
the total mass of all of the reactants prior to a chemical reaction must equal the total mass of all the products after the reaction.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products as matter is neither created nor destroyed, just rearranged.

Answer:

D. The total mass of all of the reactants prior to a chemical reaction must equal the total mass of all the products after the reaction.
