2H2 + O2 + 2H2O In this chemical equation, there are two Hz molecules and
Oz molecule
present in the reactants (the
_). The arrow represents the reaction
occurring. After the reaction, two water

It is important to point out that during a chemical reaction, the amount of an element
present in the reactants will be
to the amount in the products.
For example, if you start with two oxygen atoms, you will end with
oxygen
atoms. Similarly, if you start w 4g of hydrogen, you will
4g of
hydrogen. The total mass of materials
the total mass of products.
This is known as the Law of

During
a reaction, matter can neither be
