Question

how does dalton's atomic theory explain the law of conservation of mass ? Briefly

Answer 1

Dalton based his theory on two laws: the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition.

The law of conservation of mass says that matter is not created or destroyed in a closed system. That means if we have a chemical reaction, the amount of each element must be the same in the starting materials and the products. We use the law of conservation of mass every time we balance equations!
