it shows that only physical changes follow the Law of Conservation of Mass
it shows that only physical changes follow the Law of Conservation of Mass

Answer 1

The correct response is:

it shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during the reaction.

A balanced chemical equation demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation, indicating that matter is neither created nor destroyed in the chemical reaction.
