The amount of oxygen in the reactants is 4 atoms. In the products, the oxygen is distributed to water (H2O) and O2 gas. Which coefficients would be placed in front of water and oxygen?

A
2 in front of water and 2 in front of oxygen
B
1 in front of water and 2 in front of oxygen
C
1 in front of water and 1 in front of oxygen
D

Which best describes the law of conservation of mass?

A
The coefficients in front of the chemicals in the reactants should be based on the physical state of the products.
B
Products in the form of gases are not considered a part of the total mass change from reactants to products.
C
When reactants contain both a solid and a liquid, the solid counts toward the overall mass and the liquid does not.
D
The mass of the reactants and products is equal and is not dependent on the physical state of the substances.
