Why does a balanced equation represent mass
being conserved?
Balancing an equation results in different amounts of mass in the reactants and products
Balancing a reaction creates mass.
Balancing a reaction results in the same molecules being present in the reactants and products.
Balancing a reaction results in the same number and type of atom being present in the reactants and products.
Balancing a reaction changes the type of substance being reacted, so mass is neither created nor destroyed.
