1) 100s of millions of years ago Trees and plants fall into swamps
2) Layers of rotting plant matter builds up underwater
3) Over millions of years the weight of layers heat the plant matter and turn into Peat
4) Over millions of years more pressure and heat turns Peat into coal
The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.
The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.
According to the Law of Conservation, all atoms of the reactant(s) must equal the atoms of the product(s).
As a result, we need to balance chemical equations. We do this by adding in coefficients to the reactants and/or products. The compound(s) itself/themselves DOES NOT CHANGE.

Answer:
There are 1000 mg in 1. g
There are 1000 g in 1 kg
Each students needs 2,250 mg of clay
Explanation:
In order to determine the amount of how many kilograms to order, the teacher will need to find out the total mass of clay required by the students and then the teacher will have to convert the total mass to the units required for the purchase.
The teacher would have to find out how many milligrams make one kilogram as follows
1 kg = 1000 g
1 g = 1000 mg
Therefore, 2,250 mg = 2250/1000 g = 2.25 g
2.25 g = 2.25/1000 kg = 0.00225 kg.
