Generally accepted that the total mass before = total mass afterwards. To be a bit pedantic, if heat energy is produced or absorbed then the total mass must change by E/c2 (which is tiny) because of Einstein's famous relation between mass and energy. This would generally appear as a temperature change.

How do reactants and products compare in a chemical reaction?

Reactants are the starting materials that undergo chemical changes to form products in a reaction. Reactants are consumed during the reaction, while products are the new substances formed. The number of reactant molecules generally equals the number of product molecules in a balanced chemical equation.
