Law of Conservation of Mass Chemistry

Law of conservation of mass states that

• mass is created

• mass is destroyed

• mass is neither created nor destroyed

• mass does not change

100g of white powder reacts with 77g of clear liquid. The reaction bubbles and changes color producing a yellow liquid that has a mass of 90g. What can be concluded?

• 97g of gas was produced

• This experiment violates the conservation of mass

• 87g of gas was produced

• The excess reactant is destroyed & disappears during the reaction

Suppose a reaction were to happen in an open container in a lab. During the reaction, the scientist observes the chemicals bubble, and produce a gas. During the analysis the scientist notices that the reactants weighed 20 g when he started, and the product weighed 18 g. Explain what happened.

• His chemical reaction defied the law of conservation of mass

• The product destroyed mass during the reaction

• The reactants created matter during the reaction

• The gas that was produced was not able to be weighed since the container was open.
