Which procedure could be used to describe demonstrate that matter is conserved during a chemical change or reaction
1 answer
One procedure that could be used to demonstrate that matter is conserved during a chemical change or reaction is to measure the mass of all the reactants before the reaction takes place and then measure the mass of all the products after the reaction is complete. If the reaction follows the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the products should be equal to the total mass of the reactants. This can be demonstrated by conducting the reaction in a closed system to ensure that no mass is lost or gained during the reaction process.
