​Closed System Vs. Open System

​Open System- Allows matter and energy to flow in and out freely.

​

Ex. Baking bread in an oven, Melting ice in a pan

​

​

​

​Closed System- matter or energy is unable to go in or out.

​

​Law of Conservation of Mass

​Antoine Lavoisier - "Revolutionized Chemistry"

​

​

• ​Lavoisier discovered that "Mass can not be created or destroyed" by carefully measuring the product and reactants in many of the chemical reactions he was researching.

• ​Law of Conservation of Mass states that: "Mass can not be created or destroyed"
