During a chemical reaction, reactants form products. Compare the mass of reactants with the mass of products formed.

• The mass of reactants is greater than the mass of products.

• The mass of products is greater than the mass of reactants.

• The mass of products is the same as the mass of reactants.

• The change in mass depends on what the reactants and products are.
