WELCOME BACK!

Oh Lord God, school is not

always easy. Some days are very
difficult, and we struggle to relax
and be at peace. Yet, we know
PRAYER before that YOU will give us
PATIENCE, WISDOM and
CLASS
COURAGE to be excellent in
every ways, and YOU will help
us love others as YOU love us.
AMEN…

1. What does the Law of Conservation of mass

tell us?
2. How will you compare the total mass of the
reactants and the total mass of the products?
3. Why is there no change in mass during a
chemical reaction?
 Law of Conservation of Mass

States that mass is conserved in a chemical

reaction. The total mass of the reactants is equal to the
total mass of the products. No new atoms are created
or destroyed, there was only grouping or regrouping
(rearrangement) of atoms.
 Balancing Chemical Equations

Balancing chemical equations is done to obey

the Law of Conservation of Mass. Balanced equations
depict that the number of atoms on the reactant side is
equal to the number of atoms on the product side.
 Balancing Chemical Equations

For a chemical equation to conform to the Law

of Conservation of Mass, it has to be balanced.
Chemical equations are balanced by placing the
appropriate coefficients before the symbols or formulas
of reactants and products. Certain steps are observed
in balancing reactions.
 Polyatomic ions

Polyatomic ions are ions which consist of more than

one atom. For example, nitrate ion, NO3-, contains one
nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. The atoms in a
polyatomic ion are usually covalently bonded to one
another, and therefore stay together as a single,
charged unit.
