Balancing Chemical Equation with Conservation of Mass

What is the definition of chemical reaction?

• The input which reacts chemically to create product
• a system where none of the reactants or products are allowed to escape
• occurs when the atoms and molecules of two or more substances rearrange to form new substances
• the output, or result of a chemical reaction
