It is well know that it can be balancing a mass and a light mass so technically DONT USE WIKI ANSWERS I JUST put a randome thing on how do people know these things
Law of Conservation of mass(atomic mass). As mass can be considered relative to energy, therefore Law of Conservation is also correct but Law of conservation of mass is is much more accurate because here mass is a much more accurate term that is required here. Here, since, we are balancing molecules, then we require atomic or molecular mass.
The mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.
Ca+O2>CaO2
A balanced chemical equation conveys the correct molar ratios of reactants and products in a reaction. Balancing a chemical equation upholds the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
False
the law of conservation of mass
The laws of conservation of mass and of numbers of each type of atom.

the law of conservation of matter (or mass)
The conservation of mass
Because the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products due to the Law of Conservation of Mass. By balancing the equation you show the correct proportions of chemicals.
The mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.
The mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.
The law of conservation of matter/mass states that in a closed system matter is neither created nor destroyed. This means that the same number and kind of atoms in the reactants are also present in the products, which is why a chemical equation must be balanced.
1.) Identify the names of the reactants and the product, and write a word equation. 2.) Write a formula equation by substituting correct formulas for the names of the reactants and the products. 3.) Balancing the formula equation according to the law of conservation of mass. 4.) Count atoms to be sure that the equation is balanced.
The law of conservation of mass, which states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed, it can only change form. This means that in a chemical reaction that takes place in a closed system, the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.
Initial answer - (which happens to be wrong - but has been kept because it illustrates a misunderstanding that you want to avoid): has to have the same number of moles on both side because u cannot make or destroy moles mmm ... not exactly As an example, the combustion of hydrogen is 2H2 + O2 ==> 2H2O In this example you could start with 3 moles (2 moles of H2 and 1 mole of O2) and wind up with 2 moles (of H2O). The law that must be obeyed is "Conservation of mass". Using the example above, you start with 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms in the reactants and end with 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms in the products. The mass is conserved.
