How does stoichiometry rely on the Law of Conservation of Mass to predict the amounts of products formed?

• A. By assuming some mass is lost during chemical changes to calculate product amounts.
• B. By ignoring the total mass of reactants when calculating the amounts of products produced.
• C. By creating new elements during reactions to determine the quantities of products formed.
• D. By using balanced equations to ensure mass is conserved, allowing for accurate predictions.

Answer: (D)
