According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, what must be true in a chemical reaction?

• The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.

• The mass of products is always greater than the reactants.

• The mass of reactants is always less than the products.

• Mass is not conserved in chemical reactions.

If a reaction starts with 40 g of reactants and produces 35 g of product, what can you infer?

• 5 g of product was lost or not measured.

• The law of conservation of mass does not apply.

• The reaction created extra mass.

• The product is heavier than the reactants.

A teacher puts 200 g of reactants into a closed container. After the reaction, the container and products together weigh 200 g. What does this show about the Law of Conservation of Mass, and why is using a closed container important?

• It shows new mass was created; the closed container doesn’t matter

• It shows mass is conserved; the closed container prevents gas from escaping

• It shows mass is destroyed; the container adds weight

• It shows energy is conserved, not mass
