carbon dioxide
water
sugar
oxygen
This equation demonstrates the law of conservation of mass because
A.
there is the same number of compounds on the right side of the equation as the left.
B.
there are more oxygen atoms on the right side of the equation than on the left.
c. the sugar molecule on the right has the same mass as the carbon dioxide molecules on the left.
D.

Answer:

D= there is the same number of each type of atoms on the right side and left side of the equation.

Explanation:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
