According to the law of conservation of mass, what happens to the total mass during a chemical reaction in a closed system?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: कुल द्रव्यमान समान रहता है
According to the law of conservation of mass, matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Therefore, in a closed system, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products. Option B is incorrect because the actual mass does not decrease; in an open container, the measured mass may appear lower if a gas escapes.
