The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another. One of the implications of this is that the total energy of the universe is finite. Einstein's famous equation E=mc**2 provides a corollary to the first law by demonstrating that mass and energy are interrelated. Since they are related by his equation, the first law could be modified to say that the combination of mass and energy is finite for the universe, or that matter is just another form of energy.
When energy is converted to mass the increase in mass is usually so tiny that it is not detectable within experimental uncertainty but it can be calculated. The one exception to this is when high energy photons (e.g. gamma rays) convert to a matter-antimatter particle pair. However the antimatter particle so rapidly collides with a matter particle, converting back to a high energy photon that although easily detectable in experiments it has no practical value.

What is another name for the first law of Thermodynamics?
The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the Law of Energy Conservation.
Which law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
That law is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.
What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; it can only change forms. This law is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
What is another name for the first law?
Another name for the first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation.
What is another name for the first law of Thermodynamics?
The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the Law of Energy Conservation.
What law of thermodynamics states that different forms of energy can be converted into one another?
That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Which law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
That law is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.
When the law of conversation of energy is applied to heat it is known as the law of thermodynamics?
Not exactly. The first law of thermodynamics, i.e. the law of conservation of energy, also accounts for heat as one of the many forms that energy can take. There is no one law called "the law of thermodynamics", but there are several "Laws of Thermodynamics" (note the plural form "LAWS").
What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; it can only change forms. This law is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
What is another name for the first law?
Another name for the first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation.
What is universal law of energy?
There is no commonly accepted law by that name, as far as I know. Two important laws about energy are the First Law of Thermodynamics and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
The first law of thermodynamics is related to the conservation of which quantity?
Yes. There are no known exceptions - otherwise it would not be considered a law
To which of the following does the first law of thermodynamics apply?
You didn't specify what you mean with "the following".To the best of our knowledge, conservation of energy ALWAYS applies. There are no known cases when you can create energy out of nothing, or simply make it disappear.
What is the relationship between the first law of thermodynamics and the law of conservation of energy?
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. This is directly related to the law of conservation of energy, which states that the total energy in a closed system remains constant. In essence, the first law of thermodynamics is a specific application of the broader principle of conservation of energy.
What is another name for the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Another name for the Law of Conservation of Energy is the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
