When heated, oxygen reacts with copper to form copper oxide:
If this reaction occurs in a sealed container, will the mass of the container and everything in it increase, decrease, or stay the same and why?

• The mass will stay the same because the number of each kind of atom stays the same.
• The mass will increase because a new kind of molecule is formed.
• The mass will decrease because two substances combine to form one substance.
• More information is needed to tell if the mass will change.
