When heated, oxygen reacts with copper to form copper oxide:
If this reaction occurs in a sealed container, will the mass of the container and everything in it increase, decrease, or stay the same and why?

• The mass will stay the same because the number of each kind of atom stays the same.
• The mass will increase because a new kind of molecule is formed.
• The mass will decrease because two substances combine to form one substance.
• More information is needed to tell if the mass will change.

What is the Law of Conservation of mass?

• Mass is created in a chemical reaction
• Mass is created in a physical change
• New chemicals formed from a chemical reaction have a larger overall mass than the original reactants
• Mass is never created or destroyed
