Law of Conservation of MassAKA: Law of Conservation of Matter
Mass is neither created nor destroyed during a
chemical reaction
In a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged to make new
products with new properties.

A chemical reaction is when chemical bonds break and new
bonds form.
Reactants ProductsMass of Reactants = Mass of Products
This is a balanced equation
Chemical reactions are represented on
paper by chemical equations.
Chemical equations are a shorter, easier way to show
chemical reactions because they use symbols
instead of words.
Coefficients show the number of each type of molecule in a reaction.
Subscripts show the number of each type of atom in a reaction.
