Matter is ALWAYS conserved. An example where it is useful for calculations is in chemistry. Not only is total matter conserved, but the number of atoms of each element remain constant - don't change before and after the reaction. This makes it possible to predict quantitative results for many chemical reactions.

How might the law of conservation of matter apply to daily life?

Law of conservation of mass shows that matter is conserved no matter what it undergoes. Some examples are ice cubes that melt to give same mass of liquid, oxidation of copper and closed metamorphic systems.

What is the law of conservation of matter using your own examples?

The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. For example, when wood burns, the wood is converted into ash, smoke, and gases, but the total mass of the wood before burning is the same as the total mass of the products after burning. This demonstrates the conservation of matter in action.


When is the conservation of matter true in a open system or closed system?

The conservation of matter applies in closed systems, where no matter can enter or leave. In open systems, matter can be exchanged with the surroundings, so the conservation of matter may not be strictly true.


What is another name for the law of conservation of matter?

The law of conservation of matter is also known as the law of conservation of mass. It states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.

What does the conservaton suggest about the conservation of energy the conservation of matter and the conservation of momentum?

Conservation laws suggest that energy, matter, and momentum cannot be created or destroyed but can only change forms or be transferred between objects. Conservation of energy states that the total energy in a closed system remains constant. Conservation of matter indicates that the total mass in a closed system is constant. Conservation of momentum asserts that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant in the absence of external forces.
