What is the law of conservation of mass?

Back

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change?

Back

A physical change alters the form of a substance without changing its chemical composition, while a chemical change results in the formation of new substances with different properties.
