There are two laws of conservation.

One is the law of conservation of mass, which says mass can neither be created or destroyed, only changed in form.

The other is the law of conservation of energy, which says energy can neither be created or destroyed, only changed in form.

These laws, formulated in the 18th & 19th century, are still used to solve physics and engineering problems today, however they are now known not to be entirely true. Einstein's theory of relativity shows that mass can be converted into energy. Nuclear bombs do this. E = mc2 means in a nuclear reaction the amount of energy created (E) is equal to the mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared.

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.
