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

Students react baking soda & vinegar.
Which of the following would provide the evidence that the number of atoms present before a chemical reaction is equal to the number of atoms present after the chemical reaction?

• The mass of the plastic bag, baking soda, and vinegar before the reaction was equal to the mass after the reaction.
• Bubbles were produced during the reaction, which meant that a gas was being produced.
• The plastic bag did not change in any way, indicating that it was not involved in the reaction.
• The mass of the baking soda was exactly equal to the mass of the vinegar used to create the chemical reaction.

What is the law of conservation of mass?

• The amount of matter changes when reacted or changed.
• The mass of all reactants are changed during a physical or chemical change
• The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products
• The mass of the products is different than the mass of the reactants.
