Conservation of Mass
The law of conservation of mass: in a chemical reaction the total mass of products is equal to the total mass of reactants
- Some reactions will appear to have a change in mass this happens when reactions are carried out in a non-closed system
- For example with magnesium is burned in air to produce magnesium oxide the mass increases. This is because when the magnesium is burn it combines with oxygen (from air) and that has a mass
- Some reactions will appear to have a change in mass this happens when reactions are carried out in a non-closed system
If reactions are carried out in a closed environment then no gas atoms are lost or gained
