Question

True False
Magicians can make matter just by waving their hand.

During a chemical reaction matter is produced from nothing.

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, just rearranged.

If you add up all the atoms of one element in the reactants and atoms of that same element in the products you will have the same number.

Answer 1

Here are the evaluations of the statements regarding the Law of Conservation of Matter:

1. Magicians can make matter just by waving their hand.
   False - This statement is false; magicians cannot create matter; they perform illusions.

2. During a chemical reaction matter is produced from nothing.
   False - This statement is false; according to the Law of Conservation of Matter, matter is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

3. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, just rearranged.
   True - This statement is true and aligns with the Law of Conservation of Matter.

4. If you add up all the atoms of one element in the reactants and atoms of that same element in the products you will have the same number.
   True - This statement is true; the number of atoms of each element is conserved during a chemical reaction.

So the evaluations are as follows:

1. False
2. False
3. True
4. True
