Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

If 10.0 g of calcium carbonate produced 3.8 g carbondioxide and 6.2 g calcium oxide than according to this law,

CaCO₃ = CaO + CO₂

10.0 g = 6.2 g + 3.8 g

10.0 g = 10.0 g

This reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

Answer :By the time thermal equilibrium is attained in the system, ice is completely converted to water.

What is tehrmal equilibrium?

Thermal equilibrium is a situation in which two substances are exactly at the same temperature. That is. Heat is no longer flowing beween the bodies.

Recall that an insulated thermos flask implies that heat does not eneter or leave the system. Heat will flow from the water to the ice untill the both attains the same temperature and the ice is completely converted to water.
