What law states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in chemical or physical changes?

The law of conservation of mass/matter states that mass/matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical or physical changes.


What law represents a balanced chemical equation?

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.


How are the law of conservation of enegry and the law of mass similar?

The Law of conservation of Energy applies to mass as mass is a form of energy, E=mc2.


Law of conservation of mass is known as law of indestructibility of matter why?

If matter were destroyed, then it would not be conserved. "Conservation" means that the amount of mass doesn't change.


What states that matter is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction?

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.


What are some alike things to the law of conservation of matter?

There is the law of conservation of mass, and the law of conservation of energy. All three state: (Mass/Matter/Energy) cannot be created or destroyed, simply transferred.


Which scientific law predicts that the mass of the reactants before a chemical reaction will equal the mass of the products after the reaction has taken place?

Law of Conservation of Mass (aka Law of Conservation of Matter)


What scientific law is satisfied when balancing equations?

Law of Conservation of mass(atomic mass). As mass can be considered relative to energy, therefore Law of Conservation is also correct but Law of conservation of mass is is much more accurate because here mass is a much more accurate term that is required here. Here, since, we are balancing molecules, then we require atomic or molecular mass.


What is balancing a chemical equation so that the same number of atoms of each element is found in both the reactants and the products is an example of what?

the law of conservation of matter (or mass)


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.


Example of Law of Conservation of Mass?

matter can not be created or distroyed


Why is the law of conservation of mass used and give Background of the law of conservation of mass?

There is no law of concervation of mass anymore, it is the law of conservations of energy (since mass can be converted into pure energy, thank you Albert).
