Learning Objective

I can explain how mass is conserved during chemical reactions.

  • 1

    A physical change is a change in the shape or form of matter, but it does not create a new substance.

  • 2

    In a chemical reaction, the substances that react are called reactants, and the new substance that is made is called the product.

  • 3

    The conservation of mass states that matter is never made or lost, it only changes form.
