What is the law of conservation of mass or matter?
A
matter can never be created or destroyed, on changed or rearranged
B
we should conserve matter to preserve our planet
C
it is illegal to waste
D
matter changes states and weighs differently when it changes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Matter can change form through physical and chemical changes, but through any of these changes matter is conserved. The same amount of matter exists before and after the change-none is created or destroyed. This concept is called the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Detailed explanation-2: -In special relativity, the conservation of mass does not apply if the system is open and energy escapes. However, it does continue to apply to totally closed (isolated) systems. If energy cannot escape a system, its mass cannot decrease.

Detailed explanation-3: -matter is neither created nor destroyed a chemical reaction More simply the mass of products is equal to the mass of the reaction in a chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -A given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by weight can be explained by the Law of Constant Proportion. Hence this is an incorrect statement about the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Detailed explanation-5: -The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. For example, when wood burns, the mass of the soot, ashes, and gases equals the original mass of the charcoal and the oxygen when it first reacted. So the mass of the product equals the mass of the reactant.
