Answer: Law of Conservation of Mass
Explanation:
A balanced chemical equation represents the 'Law of Conservation of Mass '
Law of Conservation of Mass states that 'in chemical reaction mass can neither be created nor be destroyed '.The total mass of the reactant in chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of the products formed in a chemical reaction.
For example : [tex]2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O[/tex]
Mass of reactants = Mass of the products
mass of the reactants = 2(2 × 1) + (2 × 16) = 36 g/mol
Mass of the products = 2[(2 × 1 ) + (1 × 16)] = 36 g/mol
As from the above calculations, we find that the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products. Hence, this equation follows law of conservation of mass.
