The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. When wood burns, the mass of the wood is converted into a small amount of ashes and gas. The total mass of the ashes and gas is equal to the mass of the wood before it was burned, demonstrating that the law of conservation of mass holds true.
