The products of a reaction are NaCl and H2O. What does the law of conservation of matter reveal about the reactants in the reaction? A. At least some of the reactants will include NaCl and H2O. B. The reactants will contain only Na, Cl, O, and H in some amounts. C. Na, Cl, O, H, and three other elements were the reactant elements. D. The reactants will have one Na, one Cl, one O, and two H atoms.

D

Explanation:

total mass should be equal on both sides

it's a double do displacement reaction

HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
