No. It may be the same before and after, but it certainly doesn't have to be (and often isn't), so it would be wrong to say it's "conserved".

Some examples:

To a first approximation, in the reaction H2 + Cl2 -> 2HCl the products have the same volume as the reactants.

However, in the reaction N2O4 -> 2NO2, the reactant volume is half the volume of the products, assuming that the pressure is constant.

Is mass and volume conserved in a chemical change?

No. Mass must be conserved in a chemical changes according to the law of conservation of mass, which holds that the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products of a chemical reaction must be equal. However, there is no similar law about conserving volume and volume can change dramatically if a gas is produced.


What is conserved during any change color volume identity or mass?

The answer is mass. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that when a chemical or physical change takes place, you end up with the same amount of mass that you started in. It may just be in a different state, such as a gas.

Can volume be conserved?

ummmm volume can be conserved it just depends on the condition of what u r finding the volume of. @};-


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.


Is mass conserved in both physical and chemical change?

neither physical or changes its property


What happens to mass during a chemical change?

Mass is conserved. This means it remains constant.


Ions that do not change in a chemical reaction is?

When a chemical reaction takes place, matter is conserved. The number and types of atoms in the reactants do not change in the products.


Is volume a physical or a chemical change?

Volume is a physical quantity not a change. However CHANGE in volume is a physical change.


How can volume change if a substance undergoes a chemical change?

If a substance undergoes a chemical change, its properties change. For example, water, when heated turns into a gas which has a higher volume.


Is volume a physical property or chemical?

Volume is a physical property.
