Study Notes
Law of Conservation of Mass
- The mass of a closed system remains constant during a chemical reaction.
- This means that the total mass of the reactants before the reaction is equal to the total mass of the products after the reaction.
- In an experiment involving two solutions (X and Y) mixed in a flask, the mass of the flask and its contents remains the same before and after the reaction.
Law of Constant Composition
- Compounds are formed by two or more elements in a definite proportion by mass.
- This means that the ratio of the masses of the elements in a particular compound is always the same, regardless of the source of the compound.
- Example: Water always contains hydrogen and oxygen in a mass ratio of 1:8.
