During the combustion of coal, the carbon in coal reacts with the oxygen in the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide. a, b, and c represent the masses of compounds either used up or formed by the combustion of coal. a = 12 grams, b = 44 grams, c = 32 grams which of the following statements supports the conclusion that combustion of coal follows the law of conservation? a. the total mass of a and c, which are carbon dioxide and oxygen, is equal to the mass of b, which is carbon. b. the total mass of a and c, which are carbon and oxygen, is equal to the mass of b, which is carbon dioxide. c. the total mass of b and c, which are carbon and oxygen, is greater than the mass of a, which is carbon dioxide. d. the total mass of a and b, which are carbon and oxygen, is greater than the mass of c, which is carbon dioxide. you to whoever tries to answer this and i will give brainliest if your answer is right! edit: nevermind! i did more research and for whoever is also trying to find the answer to this question the correct one is b.!
