The principle of conservation of mass is true?

Yes, you can't make mass appear where none was before. No exception has been found so far. In the Special Theory of Relativity, mass will increase with speed; but this is equivalent to the increase in kinetic energy, and if an object gains energy, another object will lose energy (and therefore mass). So, the conservation of mass (and of energy) is still true.


What would it mean if conservation of mass was not true?

there will be no mass


The principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?

law of conservation of mass


Why Dalton's law of conservation of mass is incorrect?

It is incorrect by itself because energy can alter the mass web the mass is moving at high velocities. A more correct law is the law of conservation of mass-energy. For example... When a object is moving at the speed of light the electrons can be sped up therefor increasing its mas. This has been tested several times including at Havard.


What is true of the total mass of reactants compared to the total mass products?

By the law of conservation of mass they will be equal in mass.


What is the true of the total mass of reactants compared to the total mass of products?

By the law of conservation of mass they will be equal in mass.


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.


What is always true according to the law of conservation?

There is no one "law of conservation", there are several laws, such as conservation of energy, conservation of mass, conservation of electric charge, conservation of rotational momentum, etc.What is always true is that there is SOME quantity that doesn't change in the case of a closed system.


According to the Law of Conservation of Mass in a chemical reaction the total starting mass of all the reactants equals the total final mass of all the products true or false?

False


Is a rusted pipe which mass has increased violate the law of conservation of mass?

No, it is not true; the law remain valid.


What law states that the total mass of the reactants always equals the total mass of the products?

The law of conservation of mass. We now know that technically it's not quite true, but it's so close that the difference cannot be detected on the most sensitive balances we have.


Can the law of conservation of mass ever be absolutely proven to be true why or why not?

No it can't. In order to prove it absolutely true, you would have to set up and observe every possible reaction, and document that mass is conserved in every one of them. Which is impossible, because there are an infinite number of possible reactions. But it's accepted as a law because so far, no exception to it has ever been observed. Well, technically, before somebody else jumps on this answer and shows why it aint true . . . That "law" is now amended to become the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy, since it was shown about 100 years ago that mass and energy are equivalent and can convert in both directions. But the total doesn't change.
