CRE - The Law of Conservation of Mass (Lesson)

The Law of Conservation of Mass

Introduction

Chemical reactions occur all around us. From photosynthesis to food digestion in our own bodies, substances are being rearranged to from new substances. The Law of Conservation of Mass is observed in all chemical reactions. This next lesson will dive deeper into this important law and explain why it is essential to our understanding of chemistry.
