Question

state the law of conservation of mass.is it applicable to the chemical reaction? elaborate your answer with the help of an example

Answer 1

The law of conservation of mass can be stated as "matter is neither created nor destroyed, it changes from one form to another".

• Yes, it is applicable to a chemical reaction.
• Because in a chemical reaction only the reactants are converted into products but the overall mass of the reaction remains unchanged.
• Thus we can say that the mass of products in a chemical reaction must be equal to the mass of reactants.
• Lets' take the example of a photosynthesis reaction.
• 6CO2 + 6H2O    -----------> C6H12O6 + 6H2O
• As we can see that the mass of reactants and products is equal on both sides of the equation.
