No. It may be the same before and after, but it certainly doesn't have to be (and often isn't), so it would be wrong to say it's "conserved".

Some examples:

To a first approximation, in the reaction H2 + Cl2 -> 2HCl the products have the same volume as the reactants.

However, in the reaction N2O4 -> 2NO2, the reactant volume is half the volume of the products, assuming that the pressure is constant.

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.


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.

Can volume be conserved?

ummmm volume can be conserved it just depends on the condition of what u r finding the volume of. @};-


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.


What happens to mass during a chemical change?

Mass is conserved. This means it remains constant.


Is mass conserved in both physical and chemical change?

neither physical or changes its property


Is volume conserved in a reaction between distilled water and acetone?

Yes, in a chemical reaction between distilled water and acetone, the total volume of the reactants remains the same. This is because matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the total volume remains constant.


He total amount of energy before and after a chemical reaction is the same. Therefore energy is .?

Conserved. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change forms.


Is volume a physical or a chemical change?

Volume is a physical quantity not a change. However CHANGE in volume is a physical change.


Is volume conserved in a reaction between distilled water and ethanol?

Yes, volume is typically conserved in a reaction between distilled water and ethanol. The total volume of the reactants should equal the total volume of the products in a chemical reaction, assuming no gases are produced or consumed.


How can volume change if a substance undergoes a chemical change?

If a substance undergoes a chemical change, its properties change. For example, water, when heated turns into a gas which has a higher volume.
