The law of Conservation of Mass was invented by a French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier.
As the law of conservation of matter states: matter can neither be created nor destroyed. So no, carbon can't be destroyed.
No because the law of conservation of matter clearly states that matter can NOT be created or destroyed. It can only change it's form.

If by the law of conservation you mean the Law of Conservation of Matter, then it states that matter cant be created or destroyed.
If by the law of conservation you mean the Law of Conservation of Matter, then it states that matter cant be created or destroyed.
The law of conservation of mass/matter states that mass/matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical or physical changes.
The conservation of Energy-Matter.
The law of conservation of matter is applied to processes not to a compound.
Answer the question...
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.
You are confusing the law of conservation of matter/mass with the law of conservation of energy. The law of conservation of matter/mass states that in a closed system matter is neither created nor destroyed. During a chemical reaction matter is rearranged, it doesn't change forms (energy can change forms). The atoms in the products are the same atoms that were in the reactants.
The law of conservation of matter states that in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.
It was a France scientist named Antoine Laurent Lavoisier.
