Law of Conservation of Mass

This is the scientific principle that matter is neither created or destroyed during a chemical change. Basically, what you start with, you have to end with. That is why atoms have to be equal on both sides of the equation.​

Multiple Choice

Carbon dioxide is created by

• Burning fossil fuels

• Cellular respiration
