In your chemistry classes, you have probably learned that, in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products is equal to the mass of the reactants. That is, the mass of the substances produced in a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the substances consumed in the reaction. Is this absolutely true, or is there actually a small difference? Explain.
