The Law of Conservation of Matter

Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.

  • 2

    When water boils, the steam has the same mass as the liquid water because the water molecules only speed up and move away from each other.

  • 3

    When a copper pipe rusts, it gains mass because oxygen atoms from the atmosphere bond to the copper atoms in the pipe.
