Energy and matter are both conserved during a chemical reaction, but the energy may change form, for example, from chemical potential energy to evolved heat. The matter also forms a new type of chemical bond and/or breaks an old type of chemical bond.

Matter and Energy


Would it ever be true that matter and energy may be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction?

No, the law of conservation of matter and energy states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. They can only be converted from one form to another.


How is matter and energy conserved in a chemical reaction?

In a chemical reaction, matter is conserved by the rearrangement of atoms so that the same elements present at the start of the reaction are also present in the products. Energy is conserved through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, where the total energy before and after the reaction remains the same due to the law of conservation of energy.


What does the law of conservation of mass state that cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?

The law of conservation of mass (or matter) states that mass (or matter) cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction. *Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, so a lot of scientists call this the law of conservation of matter.


Is fire energy or matter?

Fire is a form of energy, not matter. It results from the rapid chemical reaction of a fuel with oxygen, releasing heat and light energy.


Is fire made of matter?

Yes, fire is made of matter. It is a chemical reaction that releases heat and light energy.


What property of matter supports combustion?

The property of matter that supports combustion is its ability to undergo a chemical reaction with oxygen, releasing heat and light energy in the process. This reaction is typically exothermic and generates enough energy to sustain the combustion process.


What is the definition for chemical energy?

Chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the chemical bonds of a substance. This energy is released when these bonds are broken during a chemical reaction, resulting in the conversion of chemical energy into other forms of energy such as heat, light, or kinetic energy.


Energy can be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?

Neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed; they can only be converted from one form to another. Molecular matter can be manipulated chemically and reactions can change matters' energy levels and compositions, but chemical reactions cannot create nor destroy the matter or the energy.


Is matter a chemical reaction?

No
