Consider the following equation: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃: The combined mass of the reactants is for example 320 grams. The mass of the product will be _____?

Same as that of reactant

Greater than the reactant

Less than the reactant

None of these

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products in a chemical reaction.

Since no atoms are lost or gained, the mass of Fe₂O₃ (product) remains 320 grams, the same as the reactants.
