Chemical Reactions and Conservation of Mass

Which of the following is true of the law of conservation of mass?

• The same number and type of each atom will always be present before and after a chemical reaction takes place.
• Some of the atoms present before the reaction will always be lost during a chemical reaction.
• Some of the atoms will always be changed into a different type of atom by a chemical reaction.
• During a chemical reaction, atoms will always be combined into much larger molecules.

Why does this picture demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass?

• the number of atoms of each element are the same on both sides

• they start out separate and end up combined

• the same elements are used

• it doesn't demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass
