a)

the mass would decrease

b)

the mass would increase

c)

the mass would stay the same

d)

it depends on the type of reaction

If a chemical reaction occurs in an open system (not contained), what might happen to the measurable mass of the products when compared to the reactants?

a)

the measurable mass might decrease because any gas produced can escape (the actual mass would stay the same)

b)

the mass would increase because mass was created

c)

the measurable mass would stay the same because nothing would be able to leave the system.
