The law of conservation of matter states that matter is neither created nor destroyed. An example of this is a simple combustion reaction of methane. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O. There is 1 carbon, four oxygen's and four hydrogens on each side, thus showing conservation of matter.

This is generally accepted a true for general use but in relativity the law combines with the law of conservation of energy making the mass-energy equivalence theorem.

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.
What law states that matter can never be created or destroyed?
i think that it is a law The first law of thermodynamics. Meaning, "...that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another or transferred from one body to another, but the total amount of energy remains constant (the same)."
Why you can never really throw matter away?
According to the Law of Conservation of Matter, it is impossible to really throw things away. This is possible because matter does not disappear, it only changes form.
What are some physical and chemical changes sugar can undergo?
It's either obey the law of conservation of mass, causing new matter to be created or it is an execption to the law of conservation of mass.
What are the characteristics of a Law of conservation?
If something obeys a Law of Conservation, the total amount of it is the same at the end of a process as at the start.
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.
State the principle that explains why there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of an equation?
It is the principle of conservation of energy.
The law of conservation of what?
If by the law of conservation you mean the Law of Conservation of Matter, then it states that matter cant be created or destroyed.
The law of conservation of mass state that?
matter cannot be destroyed or created..
In the Law of Conservation of Matter does it state that it requires that matter must have had an origin outside of itself?
It may
What is the laws of conservation?
If by the law of conservation you mean the Law of Conservation of Matter, then it states that matter cant be created or destroyed.
What is another name for the law of conservation of matter?
The conservation of Energy-Matter.
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.
Does hydrogen peroxide obey the law of conservation of matter?
The law of conservation of matter is applied to processes not to a compound.
Why is the law of conservation of mass so similar to the law of conservation of matter?
Answer the question...
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.
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.
