Jaylin Trujillo · Answer 1

The number of each type of molecule in a balanced equation is the same on both sides

Explanation:

the mass should never be greater on either side of the equation if it is balanced; the coefficients in front of elements and molecules and such can change depending on the kind of reaction that occurred, so out of these four choices the last one serves as the best answer.
