Solution

The correct option is C Mass of reactant = Mass of product
  • Catalyst is a substance that causes the reaction to occur faster or slower without undergoing any chemical change itself.
  • It does not participate in the reaction.
  • Therefore, mass of a catalyst has no effect on the mass of the products formed.
  • So, Mass of reactants = Mass of products.
