Law of conservation of Matter

State Law of conservation of Matter. Apply this law to a daily situation to explain the law.

  1. The law of conservation of matter states that in a physical change or chemical reaction, mass is conserved, and matter is neither created nor destroyed. This applies to everday life because if you are making a salad, the end product, after mixing all of the ingredients, will be the weight of all of the ingredients, before they are mixed.

  2. I agree with briana wth her statement about the law of conservation of matter because, the law of conservaton of matter states that in either a physical change or either chemical change mass is conserved and there is no change to matter.A every day example of this would mostlikey have to be when someone has changed the oil of a car. once the old oil s change there is a difference in mass because there are particals in the old oil but the new oild will only contain oil

  3. The law of conservation of matter is in a chemical and physical change matter cannot be created nor destroyed.Suppose that you can you burn a piece a paper and it turns into to ash,if you collected the gases and the oxygen from the burnt ashes and weighed them, the mass of the paper will still be there.It wasnt changed it just changed into a different form.

  4. The Law of Conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. It can however be rearranged and changed into different particles. A daily situation to explain this would be turning on an electric heater. The electrical energy is converted into heat energy. The amount of electricity supplied and heat produced will be equal amounts. It can even take many forms such as kinetic energy, magnetism, heat, and electrical energy. However the relationship stays the same. The energy that was there in the beginning is still there innthe end.

  5. The law of conservation of matter states that matter can not be created or destroyed. An everyday example of matter could be an electric heater because when you turn on an electric heater, electrical heat is converted into heat energy. The amount of electricity supplied to the heater, would amount the same, which means energy is conserved in the heater.

  6. Victory,
    You agreed with Briana however, your explanation is not clear and not in agreement with the law.

  7. Shartel & Fanica,

    Both of you answered similarly regarding Law of conservation of energy but not matter. My question was on matter not on energy. Give an example with conservation of matter rather energy.

  8. It states that matter cannot be created or destroyed; only transfored. For example; Cooking chicken, after cooking the chicken the weight of the chicken will remain the same.

  9. Another example of ,an everyday use of the law of conservation of matteer could be cooking dinnerbecause the gases produced are conserved. They are used but not destroyed.

  11. The Law Of Conservation Of Matter States That In A Physical Change Or Chemical Reaction, Mass Is Conserved, And Matter Is Neither Created Nor Destroyed. The Law Of Conservation Is Used In Everyday Life .

  12. The law of Conservation of matter states that matter /enegry can either be created nor destroyed. A prime example of this is cooking. If i have 125 pounds of potatos,when i boil them to make smashed potatos, according to the law of conservation of matter, i should 125 pounds of mashed potatos.

  13. other examples of the law of conservation would have to be that may have an easier understanding is when a person burns some wood for the fire places the wood will srill have the same mass if you where able to colect every ash of the burnt wood

  14. The law of conservation of matter states that matter is neither created or destroyed. An example of this could be an ice cube. If u weigh an ice cube and then wait until it has melted and you gather all the water. the wieght should be the same. It didnt lose any matter, it just changed the physical form in which it was in.
