Its conserved during the combustion of anything - the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the materials that react.

Because mass is always conserved during any chemical reaction. This is the Law of Conservation of Mass.

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.


Is law of conservation of mass valid during earthquakes?

Oh yes, mass is conserved during earthquakes. No mass is created or destroyed, it just gets violently re-arranged.

What is conserved during nuclear disintegration?

Atomic mass is conserved. Atomic number is NOT typically conserved in nuclear reactions. For example, when U235 spits out an alpha particle, its number drops by two (loss of two protons), and the mass by four, resulting in Thorium 231. The total mass is conserved, because the mass of the emitted alpha particle is 4.When an element decays by beta particle emission, the atomic number goes up by one, but the mass remains essentially the same. In spontaneous fission a pair of atoms reform with a spray of free neutrons. These neutrons have a half life of almost 15 minutes. If they bombard sufficiently heavy neighboring nuclei, what occurs is known as a fission chain reaction.
