Detailed explanation-1: -The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. For example, the carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.
Detailed explanation-2: -The law of conservation of mass states that the net change in mass of the reactants and products before and after a chemical reaction is zero. This means mass can neither be created nor destroyed in other words, the total mass in a chemical reaction remains constant.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the law of conservation of mass, during any physical or chemical change, the matter is neither created nor destroyed. However, it may change from one form to another.
