It depends on what you accept as 'being destroyed'. The only thing that is conserved is the matter/energy constant. Matter can be converted into an equivalent amount of energy. Some people would consider this 'being destroyed' but the amount of energy is always the same.

When two substances react chemically to produce a new substance what is TRUE of the mass of the two substances compared to the mass of the new substance?

The mass of the two substances before the reaction is equal to the mass of the new substance after the reaction. This is in accordance with the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.


Classify the following statements regarding the law of conservation of mass as true or false It was developed from past observations?

True. The law of conservation of mass was developed based on past observations, experiments, and evidence that showed that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.


True or false The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, matter can be created or destroyed?

False. The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. The total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.


Is it true that hydrophilic substances are soluble in water?

Yes, it is true that hydrophilic substances are soluble in water. Hydrophilic substances have an affinity for water and can easily dissolve in it.


How can you prove the law of conversion of mass is true when combining two substances?

On combining two substances the particles of substances attach to each other by forces aka chemical bond . Thus no mass is destroyed. In nuclear reactions mass lost is converted to energy (E=mc^2)

Is it true that energy can be created or destroyed?

No. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy may be 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.


In the Doctrine And Covenants 93 it says intelligence can neither be created nor destroyed If this is true does that mean their is only a finite amount of intelligences?

no


Law conservation law of matter?

matter is neither created nor destroyed (this is not 100% true but for most purposes the specifics are unnecessary)


The crust is neither created nor destroyed along a sliding boundary Is this true?

No, this statement is not accurate. Along a sliding boundary, called a transform boundary, the crust is neither created nor destroyed. Instead, the crust is transformed horizontally as two tectonic plates slide past each other.


When two substances react chemically to produce a new substance what is TRUE of the mass of the two substances compared to the mass of the new substance?

The mass of the two substances before the reaction is equal to the mass of the new substance after the reaction. This is in accordance with the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.


What is always true of matter?

Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be converted to energy, however, such as through fission or fusion.


Is it true that the law of conversation of mass states that in any chemical or physical change energy is not created or destroyed?

No, the law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. However, the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.


True or false . The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical read took matter is not created or destroyed?

True. The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed; it simply changes form. This means that the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.


Is it true that crust is nethier created nor destroyed along a sliding boundary?

its true


What does the Law of Conservation of Matter state?

The law of conservation of matter states that matter is neither created nor destroyed. An example of this is a simple combustion reaction of methane. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O. There is 1 carbon, four oxygen's and four hydrogens on each side, thus showing conservation of matter.
