What does it mean to say that mass is conserved during a chemical change?

It means that total mass doesn't increase or decrease as a result of the chemical reaction.In chemistry, there is actually a stronger law: The number of atoms of each type (element), separately, doesn't change.

What is conserved during any change color volume identity or mass?
The answer is mass. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that when a chemical or physical change takes place, you end up with the same amount of mass that you started in. It may just be in a different state, such as a gas.
What happens to the total mass of substances during a chemical reaction?
During a chemical change,chemical energy may be changed to other forms of energy.other forms of energy may also be changed to a chemical energy.
Why is mass conserved during the combution of methane?
Its conserved during the combustion of anything - the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the materials that react.
What is conserved when one balances a chemical equation?
Mass (Matter) and Energy is conserved during a Chemical equation
What happens to total amount of mass in chemical reaction?
The mass remains conserved... while it is in case of a nuclear reaction where the total mass changes... in chemical reaction there is no change in mass...
What happens to mass during a chemical change?
Mass is conserved. This means it remains constant.

What is conserved when one balances a chemical equation?
Mass (Matter) and Energy is conserved during a Chemical equation
Is mass and volume conserved in a chemical change?
No. Mass must be conserved in a chemical changes according to the law of conservation of mass, which holds that the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products of a chemical reaction must be equal. However, there is no similar law about conserving volume and volume can change dramatically if a gas is produced.
Is mass conserved in both physical and chemical change?
neither physical or changes its property
Why isn't a change in mass an indicator of chemical change?
A change in mass is not always an indicator of a chemical change because mass is conserved in chemical reactions. The total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products. However, there are some exceptions where a change in mass can occur due to the release or absorption of gases or changes in the physical state (such as evaporation or condensation) during a chemical reaction.
What happens to total amount of mass in chemical reaction?
The mass remains conserved... while it is in case of a nuclear reaction where the total mass changes... in chemical reaction there is no change in mass...
What is always conserved in a chemical reaction?
mass
A chemical equation must be balanced in order to show that mass is conserved during a reaction?
Yes. This is due to the law of conservation of mass/matter.
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.
