Question

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to chemical changes?

Answer 1

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, all of the atoms that are present in the reactants must show up as products

Answer 2

Answer:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one state or substance to another. This means that this law applies to both physical and chemical changes. In physical changes, the substance before and after the phase change still has the same mass.
