Solution

The correct option is B False
According to the law of conservation of mass, during a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must always be equal to the total mass of the products.
In a chemical reaction, mass is neither lost nor gained. Only rearrangement of atoms takes place.
So, the total mass of reactants = the total mass of products.
Hence, the given statement is false.
