Chemical Reactions and Equations Review

The law of conservation of matter states that:

• matter is neither created nor destroyed.

• the mass of the products is always greater than the mass of the reactants.

• the mass of the products is always less than the mass of the reactants.

• matter is always converted into an equal amount of energy.
