    25 grams

    Explanation:

    By the law of conservation of mass, mass cannot either be created or destroyed.

    Applied to chemical reactions, that means that the mass of producs formed from the chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the substances that reacted.

    The given example of table salt is represented by this balanced chemical equaiton:

    2NaCl (s) → 2Na (s) + Cl₂ (aq)

    So, when 25 grams of NaCl (s) decomposes (reacts) 25 grams in total of products, Na (s) and Cl₂ (g), would be formed.
