different
In a reaction which is not reversible the reactants are always written on the start point of the reaction arrow and products are always written on the end point of the arrow. On the other hand, if you have an equilibrium, then determining reactants and products is a little different.
A product of a chemical reaction is the substance that is formed.
Combustion involves many different reactants and produces many different products. There are endless numbers of things that can burn, and endless types of chemicals released when these things burn. Added: Generally, and what you will see in an academic setting, this; A hydrocarbon, or a carbohydrate with oxygen gas as the reactants. The products are always carbon dioxide and water. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O An example of a common combustion reaction.
This is a very general statement, and the answer is no. However, the mass of the reactants must be equal to the mass of the products, under the law of conservation of mass.
In a balanced chemical reaction the total mass of the products always equals the total mass of reactants; this is the law of mass conservation.
A chemical change always changes the chemical composition of the reactants to produce products with new and unique properties, different from the reactants.

No. False.
When you are balancing known reactants and known products which is always the case when you are asked to "balance" a chemical equation you must not change the subscripts as that changes the reactants or the products to a different chemical compound.
The reactants are transformed in products.
The mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the reactants.

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that matter, and thus energy, cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted to different forms. To answer your question then, the mass of the products should always equal the mass of the reactants.
