Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify reaction principle

The reaction is $A + B\rightarrow AB$. Mass is conserved in a chemical - reaction.

Step2: Calculate mass of product

The mass of $AB$ formed is the sum of the masses of $A$ and $B$ that react. Given $m_A = 10g$ and $m_B=45g$. Then $m_{AB}=m_A + m_B$. $m_{AB}=10g + 45g=55g$

Answer:

55 g
