If matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction what happen to the rest of the matter in the wood?

It goes up in smoke (to coin a phrase). Smoke is composed of water vapor, carbon dioxide and other chemicals and aerosol particulates.
Incidentally, this is call the classic law of conservation of matter. For a practical every day experience it's true, but Einstein came along and showed that matter can be changed to energy and vice versa. That's what happens in an atomic explosion -- matter is converted to energy. So, really it's "Matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, just changed in form."

What is it called in a chemical reaction where atoms are neither created nor destroyed?
In any chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
What statement that is a correct expression of the law of conservation of mass?
In a chemical reaction or physical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.
What is neither created nor destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions?
chemical reactions....actually it is matter (mass)
Why must chemical equations always balance what is the law?
The fundamental law is that 'matter can neither be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction'. This means that there has to be the same amount of matter on either side of the chemical equation, arranged differently, but the same number of atoms of each element involved in the reaction.
What is the Law of Conservation of matter in chemistry?
The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter can't be created or destroyed. When a chemical reaction happens, you aren't destroying the material you are simply changing it.
What is it called in a chemical reaction where atoms are neither created nor destroyed?
In any chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
Are atos created or destroyed in a chemical reaction?
No. Atoms, which are matter, are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, but they are rearranged.
What states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reaction?
The law of Conservation of mass states that 'mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction'.
Can mater be created during a chemical reaction?
During a chemical reaction matter is neither created nor destroyed
What states that volume is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reaction?
As far as I know this is not true- volume can be increased or decreased. What is conserved in a chemical reaction is mass. Matter is not created or destroyed.
What is the law of constant mass in chemical changes?
Mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
What is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical change?
Energy is neither created or destroyed.
What statement that is a correct expression of the law of conservation of mass?
In a chemical reaction or physical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.
What The Law of what of mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction?
1st law
Law of conversation of mass?
this law states that ' matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction". As the fundamental structural unit of matter is an atom . hence the above law can also be stated as"atom can neither be created nor destroyed in chemical reaction"
What is the law of conservatoion of mass?
law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
What is mass of conversation of mass?
Conservation of matter means, matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can be changed from one form to another.
