What Is The Law of Conservation of Mass

The video tutorial explains the law of conservation of mass, its historical development, and its significance in modern chemistry. It covers the transition from the phlogiston theory to Lavoisier's discovery that matter is not destroyed in chemical reactions. The tutorial also discusses the development of chemical laws, such as the law of definite proportions, and the creation of the periodic table. It provides practical examples of balancing chemical equations, emphasizing the importance of accounting for all atoms in reactions to conserve mass.
