Solution

The correct option is B law of conservation of mass
The total mass on the reactants side is 5.3 g+6g=11.3 g

The total mass on the product side which is 2.2 g+0.9g+8.2 g=11.3.

The mass of both reactant and product side are equal.

So, the total mass is conserved.

The correct option is B
