Question

The scales shown in the introduction measure mass, or the amount of matter in a particular object. The scientific law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction, but it can change from one form to another. Did the simulation support this scientific law? Explain why or why not

Answer 1

The scientific principle of mass conservation is supported by the simulation. The introduction's scales are used to measure mass, or the volume of matter that makes up an item. During a chemical reaction, matter can shift from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed, according to the law. The simulation led us to the conclusion that the combined mass of the substances both before and after the reaction remained constant. As there was no matter lost or acquired throughout the reaction, this shows that the mass was conserved. The simulation shows that the principle of mass conservation in chemical processes is true
