What is the Law of Conservation of matter?

a)

Matter is created in a chemical reaction

b)

Matter is created in a physical change

c)

New chemicals formed from a chemical reaction have a larger overall matter than the original reactants

d)

Matter is never created or destroyed

2.
An oreo cookie weighs 20 grams.  It gets crushed into crumbs for a recipe.  How much do its crumbs weigh?
a)
15 grams
b)
25 grams
c)
20 grams
3.

a)

20 g

b)

15 g

c)

10 g

d)

3 g

4.

Why does this picture demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Matter?

a)

the number of atoms of each element are the same on both sides

b)

they start out separate and end up combined

c)

the same elements are used

d)

it doesn't demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Matter

5.

If a chemical reaction occurs in a closed system (no way for any part of the reaction to escape), how does the product mass compare to the reactant mass?

a)

the mass would decrease

b)

the mass would increase

c)

the mass would stay the same

d)

it depends on the type of reaction

6.

If a chemical reaction occurs in an open system (not contained), what might happen to the measurable mass of the products when compared to the reactants?

a)

the measurable mass might decrease because any gas produced can escape (the actual mass would stay the same)

b)

the mass would increase because mass was created

c)

the measurable mass would stay the same because nothing would be able to leave the system.

d)

it depends on the type of reaction

7.
