A citation from Wikipedia:
"The law of conservation of mass, also known as principle of mass/matter conservation is that the mass of a closed system (in the sense of a completely isolated system) will remain constant over time."

∙ 11y agoIn general it states that there is no detectable change in mass in an ordinary chemical reaction. If atoms are "conserved" in a chemical reaction, mass will also be conserved. Basically it means that the mass of the reactants in an ordinary chemical reaction will equal the mass of the products. The Law of Conservation of Mass (or matter) was first stated by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789.

State the principle that explains why there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of an equation?
It is the principle of conservation of energy.
What principle that states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed is?
It is the law of conservation of matter.
What is the difference between pinciple and law?
There can be errors in the execution of the Law but there can be no errors in the execution of the Principle. The Principle operates in ideal conditions. In Principle the right triangle is 90 degrees; in practice you may never construct a right triangle of 90 degrees. The Principle of Conservation of Matter-Energy does not allow for missing matter-energy; The Law of Conservation of Matter-Energy allows for missing matter-energy if the missing part can be said to reside in error.
The principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?
law of conservation of mass
What does the conservaton suggest about the conservation of energy the conservation of matter and the conservation of momentum?
The Conservation of Matter and the Conservation of Momentum are the consequence of the Conservation of Energy.
State the principle that explains why there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of an equation?
It is the principle of conservation of energy.
What principle tells us atoms are not destroyed?
conservation of matter
What principle that states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed is?
It is the law of conservation of matter.
Is the Law of Conservation of Matter a basic principle in studying chemical reactions?
yes
In chemicals reactions what does the principle of conservation of mass mean?
matter is not created or destroyed
In chemicals reaction what does the principle of conservation of mass mean?
matter is not created or destroyed

What is the principle called of the conservation of matter'?
In chemical reactions the number of atoms stay the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.
What is the term that means the knowledge that quantity is unrelated to the arrangement and physical appearance of objects?
Principle of conservation
Law of conservation of mass is known as law of indestructibility of matter why?
If matter were destroyed, then it would not be conserved. "Conservation" means that the amount of mass doesn't change.
The principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?
law of conservation of mass
