A chemical reaction is shown. SnO₂+H₂>>>>>>Sn+H₂O. What is true about this chemical reaction?

• It is balanced because the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.

• It is unbalanced because the mass of the reactants is greater than the mass of the products

• It is unbalanced because the mass of the reactants is less than the mass of the products

• It is balanced because the numer of reactants is equal to the number of products

• The mass of the final product will be equal to the difference between the two masses, 15 grams

• The mass of the final product will be equal to the mass of the bromine, 25 grams.

• The mass of the final product will be equal to the total mass of both reactants, 35 grams
