Understand the law of conservation of mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. This means the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products.
Analyze each diagram option by comparing the total mass of reactants and products shown in the diagram.
Identify that a diagram showing mass disappearing violates the law of conservation of mass because it implies mass is lost.
Recognize that a diagram where the total mass of products is greater than the total mass of reactants suggests mass is created, which also violates the law.
Conclude that the correct diagram must show reactants and products with equal total mass before and after the reaction, demonstrating the law of conservation of mass.
