A French chemist, Antoine Lavoisier gave the law of conservation of mass. He proved that the mass of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the reactants. There are no more atoms at the end of the chemical reaction than there were at the beginning.
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Examples:
Consider the formation of water molecule. Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form a water molecule.
2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O
Mass of Reactants(36.03g) = Mass of products(36.03g)
In this case, the total mass of the reactants = total mass of the products. Also, the number of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen in the reactants side and the products side are equal.
