  • The mass of the reactants is 24grams of carbon and 64grams of oxygen while the mass of the product is 90grams
  • Law of Conservation of mass

If Carbon reacts with an oxygen atom, the product is carbon dioxide. This is expressed as:

  • C + O₂ -> CO₂

Given the following

  • Mass of carbon = 24g
  • Mass of Oxygen = 64g

The Mass of the product will be the sum of the mass of reactants

Mass of CO₂ = Mass of Carbon + mass of Oxygen

Mass of CO₂ = 24 +64

Mass of CO₂ = 90grams

Hence the mass of the reactants is 24grams of carbon and 64grams of oxygen while the mass of the product is 90grams

The data support Law of Conservation of mass
