It is where if nothing is let in or let out of a substance the mass will not change. For example, if you had a bottle with a substance in it and nothing passed in or out of that bottle, the mass would be the same no matter if a chemical reaction occurred inside the bottle.
This makes sense, since mass is made up of atoms, and if the amount of atoms is the same then the mass won't change.

∙ 7y agoThe law of mass conservation: in a closed system the total mass remain constant, it is not dependant from chemical or physical changes.
The law of energy conservation: in a closed system the total energy remain constant.

∙ 7y ago"Conservation", in general, means that there is some quantity that won't change over time (in a closed system).
Conservation of energy means that the total amount of energy won't change over time.Similarly for conservation of mass.
Due to the equivalence of mass and energy, scientists sometimes talk about the conservation of mass-energy.
Please note that both mass and energy are always conserved; there is no such thing as "mass-to-energy conversion".

What is the principle called of the conservation of mass?
The principle of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.
Does a rocket works on principle of conservation of mass?
No
The principle of conservation of mass is true because?
Mass can never be created nor be destroyed
When the temperature of a liquid is increased will the mass increase?
No. That would violate the Newtonian principle of Conservation of Mass.
What is the principle of conservation and mass?
The total mass during a chemical process in a closed system remain constant.
In chemicals reaction what does the principle of conservation of mass mean?
matter is not created or destroyed
In chemicals reactions what does the principle of conservation of mass mean?
matter is not created or destroyed
State the principle that explains why there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of an equation?
It is the principle of conservation of energy.
How is the principle of conservation of energy seen in fission and fusion reactions?
Because of the principle of energy conservation the lost mass must reappear as generated energy, according to Einstein's equation E = mc²
What principle is used to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that is absorbed by the land?
The law of conservation of mass
What is is the principle of conservation of mass?
The amount of matter involved in a chemical reaction does not change. The total mass of the reactant must equal the total mass of the products.
Which principle is behind earths cycle such as the rock cycle the carbon cycle and the water cycle?
