The equation that best represents the conservation of matter is:
**6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂**
This equation is balanced, meaning that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side (left) is equal to the number of atoms on the product side (right). The conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the number of atoms must remain consistent. In this case, both sides have 6 carbon (C), 12 hydrogen (H), and 18 oxygen (O) atoms, thus satisfying the conservation of matter.
