Understanding Conservation of Mass in Chemical Reactions

ByMatt

Introduction Have you ever wondered where matter goes during a chemical reaction? When wood burns or metal rusts, does some of the mass simply disappear? The fascinating principle of conservation of mass holds the answer to these questions and forms one of the fundamental laws of chemistry. The conservation of mass, first described by Antoine…
