The Law of Conservation of Matter

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

Definition

The law of conservation of matter, also known as the principle of mass conservation, is a fundamental principle in physics and chemistry. It states that in a closed system, matter cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed in form.

Usage

In chemistry, the law of conservation of matter is applied when balancing chemical equations. It ensures that the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products.

In environmental science, the law of conservation of matter is essential to understand the cycles of elements in ecosystems, such as the carbon cycle or the nitrogen cycle.
