This module was outlined and written in a way that suits your understanding
and needs. It is here to help you apply the principles of conservation of mass to chemical
reaction S10MT-IV e-g-23. Many different learning situations used the scope of this
module. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. In the
standard sequence of the course, it already arranged the lesson. The textbook you are
now using can change the order in which you read them to correspond.
The learning of the Law of conservation of mass helped to turn chemistry into the
respectable science it is today. It is essential to the study and production of chemical
reactions because it proved that matter wasn't entirely disappearing (as it appeared to
be) but was instead of changing form into another substance of equal mass.
The burning of candled soot’s, ashes, melting of ice in a closed container, burning
and melting of sugar, burning of wood, paper, charcoal, and dry leaves, and lighting up
the gas grill for barbecue is some application of the Law of Conservation of Mass used
in the real world.

What is it?
The Law of Conservation of Mass
The Law of Conservation of Mass expressed that the system's group cannot
change over time in a closed system. See our example of the candle in the secure room.
Though much of the wax itself is no longer current in its original form, all of the wax
mass is still present in the room, perhaps in a different form.
When the flame, oxygen gas from the room reacted with the candle wax to produce
water vapor and carbon dioxide gas. If you gathered the reactants oxygen and wax, it
would equal the mass of the products water and carbon dioxide. We can remember the
Law of Conservation of Mass with this simple statement:
The mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products.
Sadly for fans of magic, anything that has mass, including matter and energy,
cannot be created or destroyed. That means a group cannot only appear out of
anywhere, and equally, it cannot disappear. However, the matter may change forms,
giving the illusion of nothing out of something or vice versa, but the matter's mass is
always the same before and after the change. If 22 grams of reactants go into a chemical
reaction, must be produced 22 grams of products.
> The Law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is
neither created nor destroyed by a chemical reaction.
> The total mass of the reactants is equal to the whole group of the products.
> No new atoms are created or destroyed; there were only
grouping or regrouping (rearrangement) particles.
The chemical equation does not express the Law of Conservation of Mass yet,
must balance the chemical equation.

Here are steps in the balancing equation:
1. Write the unbalanced chemical
equation; make sure you have
N2 + 3H2 → NH3
correctly followed the rules in writing
formulas of compounds.
