Matter and Energy
matter is never destroyed by reactions created by chemical More specifically, both mass and energy cannot be created or destroyed in any chemical reaction, but mass and energy are equivalent under Einstein's theory of special relativity, so energy can change to mass and vice-versa in the ratio E = mc2
atoms are not lost or gained in a chemical reaction
Electrons are the ones gained or lost in a chemical reaction. Electrons are gained in oxidation and lost through the chemical reaction known as reduction.
In a chemical process, matter is not lost nor gained; it is simply rearranged into new combinations. This is known as the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only converted into different forms.
The kinds of atoms and the number of each kind are the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation.
becasuse atoms are never gained or lost in a chemical reaction
Matter is never lost or gained in a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction cannot destroy or create atoms, it merely rearranges how they are connected and arranged in new molecules. While the atoms rearrange, energy is released (such as through light, fire or heat), or absorbed, (such as when plants use sunlight to make sugar out of carbon and water). Some atoms may evaporate, making the resulting product seem lighter or smaller, such as when coal or wood burns, but the atoms themselves are not destroyed.
if you balanced the equation correctly then the sum of the reactants will equal the sum of the the products because if there is the same amount of atoms on the reactants and the products obviously none is lost.
In a chemical reaction the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products; burning is a chemical reaction.
Yes, a chemical equation shows the number of atoms of each element involved in a chemical reaction, including those gained, lost, or rearranged. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction, so the total number of atoms before and after the reaction must be the same.
Matter is not lost in a chemical reaction, as the total mass of the reactants is always equal to the total mass of the products. This principle is known as the law of conservation of mass.
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms are lost during a chemical reaction. This can be represented by a balanced chemical equation, where the number of atoms of each element remains the same on both sides of the reaction. For example, the equation for the reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form water is: 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O.
