The law of conservation of mass (matter is neither created nor destroyed) was first clearly formulated by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. However, Mikhail Lomonosov (1748) had previously expressed similar ideas and proved them in experiments.

How does the law of the conversation of mass apply to chemical reactions?

the law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. so when a chemical reaction takes place, no matter is being destroyed. the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products.


What states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reaction?

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. This means that the total mass of the reactants before a reaction must equal the total mass of the products after the reaction.


Can carbon atoms be changed from one form to another but neither created nor destroyed Is there a name for this law?

Yes, carbon atoms can change form through chemical reactions but cannot be created or destroyed. This principle is known as the Law of Conservation of Atoms or the Law of Conservation of Mass. It states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.


What states that volume is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reaction?

As far as I know this is not true- volume can be increased or decreased. What is conserved in a chemical reaction is mass. Matter is not created or destroyed.


How does the conservation of matter tell us about atoms in chemical reactions?

Matter is neither created nor destroyed. Only change of bonds occur in atoms.


Are atoms conserved in chemical reactions?

The same number of each type of atom (each element) still exists after a chemical reaction. They simply attach to other atoms (or detach) in various ways to form molecules (or molecules break apart into atoms).


In any physical or chemical process energy is neither created nor destroyed?

Energy is neither created nor destroid because energy is transfer from one form into another
