Answer:

A Matter is not created or destroyed and the same amount of mass remains

Step-by-step explanation:

In a chemical reaction, according to the law of conservation of matter, "matter is neither created nor destroyed and the same amount of mass remains in such a process".

  • New kinds of products are formed in a chemical reaction because they undergo chemical changes.
  • The chemical changes results in energy changes and formation of new kinds of substances.
  • Based on the law of conservation of matter, mass is constant.
  • Mass is not lost or gained.
