Mass cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be change.d, fused or seperated. If you burn a piece of paper, the paper no longer exists but all the molecules have been converted to smoke or ash

Elements can be lost or gain in chemical reaction?

Elements cannot be lost/gained: this is the law of mass conservation.


What says that mass cannot be lost or gained in a reaction?

that's because every action has a reaction


What is matter in a chemical process its not lost nor gained?

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.


What are never gained or lost in a chemical reaction?

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


When can mass change?

Mass can only change when you add mass, or take mass away.According to the Theory of Relativity, if an object has a high speed (comparable to the speed of light), its mass will increase. However, it takes energy and therefore mass to accelerate an object, so the law of conservation of mass is still valid - the mass gained by one object is lost by another object.


When substances go through a chemical change is mass always gained or lost or conserved?

The mass remain unchanged; this is the law of mass conservation.


What does conservation of mass mean in science term?

Conservation of mass is the principle in science that states mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system. This means that in any physical or chemical process, the total mass of all substances involved remains constant before and after the reaction.


When copper is heated strongly in an open dish its mass will?

remain constant as no mass is lost or gained during a physical change like heating copper.


How did the mass change as Anna used the deodorant?

The mass of the deodorant did not change as Anna used it. The mass remains constant before and after use, as it is a closed system where matter is not lost or gained.


What fact does Antoine lavoisier's work show?

Mass is Neither lost nor gained during a chemical change.


The idea that atoms are gained nor lost during a chemical reaction is called the law of?

The idea that atoms are neither gained nor lost during a chemical reaction is called the law of conservation of mass. This principle states that the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.


When a firecracker explodes mass is lost true or false?

Yes and no. Yes because most of the mass isn't a firecracker anymore, and no because mass is never lost or gained in a chemical reaction, which is what a firecracker explosion is. If you have a nuclear powered firecracker, however, it would be a definite yes because some mass would be converted into energy.
