The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. This is not strictly correct, as mass and energy can be inter-converted, as in nuclear reactions. Thus, 'mass and energy cannot be created or destroyed' is more accurate.

In general, the second law of Thermodynamics suggests that when an energy system is left alone to consume and produce its own energy, it tends to emit most of its energy in the form of heat. Heat is a form of energy difficult to obtain and control, especially when it flows free in the environment! Thus the "mess" of the studied energy system expands and we say that its Entropy increases. However, o matter how "messy" that system gets, it never loses energy, even if the greatest volume of it turns into heat that we can no longer use! It is still there, no matter of us being unable to obtain it!

The total amount of energy (in a closed system, or in the Universe) cannot change.

What law states that energy is neither lost nor gained?
That would be the law of conservation of mass, conservation of matter.
The principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?
law of conservation of mass
What does the principle of conservation of matter means?
A citation from Wikipedia:"The law of conservation of mass, also known as principle of mass/matter conservation is that the mass of a closed system (in the sense of a completely isolated system) will remain constant over time."For more details see the link bellow.
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.
What is the main lesson of Conservations of Energy?
The Law of Conservation of mass (or energy) states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
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.
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.
What law states that the total mass of the reactants always equals the total mass of the products?
The law of conservation of mass. We now know that technically it's not quite true, but it's so close that the difference cannot be detected on the most sensitive balances we have.
What law states that energy is neither lost nor gained?
That would be the law of conservation of mass, conservation of matter.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass.?
During chemical processes in a closed system the mass remain constant.
What is the law of conservation in mass?
The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or lost in a chemical reaction. The weight of the reactants will ALWAYS equal the weight of the products.
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 principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?
law of conservation of mass
What does the Law of Conservation of Matter state?
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.
Why is the law of conservation of mass used and give Background of the law of conservation of mass?
There is no law of concervation of mass anymore, it is the law of conservations of energy (since mass can be converted into pure energy, thank you Albert).
What law states that the mass can not be lost or gained in a chemical reaction?
The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the product.
