Answer:
the mass on the reactant side is equal to mass obtained on the product side, hence this reaction illustrates the law of conservation of mass.
Explanation:
24g magnesium + 16g oxygen = 40g magnesium oxide
total mass on reactant side= 24g + 16g = 40g-----1
total mass on product side = 40g------2
From 1 and 2
total mass on reactant side=total mass on product side
40g=40g
Hence proved!
