The Law of Conservation of Matter is demonstrated in the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O by stating that the same number of each type of atom is present on both sides of the equation. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**The same number of each type of atom is present on both sides of the equation.**
This confirms that matter is neither created nor destroyed in the reaction, adhering to this fundamental principle.
**The same number of each type of atom is present on both sides of the equation.**
This confirms that matter is neither created nor destroyed in the reaction, adhering to this fundamental principle.
