12. This is a chemical reaction for the decomposition of carbonic acid into water and carbon dioxide. H2CO3 → H2O + CO2 How does the reaction support the Law of Conservation of Mass? Several molecules of water are produced. The mass of carbon atoms is reduced during the reaction. The mass of the atoms in the reactant equals the mass of the atoms in the products. The mass of hydrogen atoms is the only thing that remains the same before and after the reaction
