What is the fundamental law governing the conservation of mass?

  1. Law of Conservation of Mass

  2. Law of Conservation of Energy

  3. Law of Conservation of Momentum

  4. Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that the total mass of a closed system remains constant, regardless of the changes that occur within the system.

In a chemical reaction, what is the relationship between the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products?

  1. The mass of the reactants is always greater than the mass of the products.

  2. The mass of the reactants is always equal to the mass of the products.

  3. The mass of the reactants is always less than the mass of the products.

  4. The mass of the reactants and the mass of the products are not related.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the total mass of a closed system remains constant, including during a chemical reaction.
