Law of Conservation of Mass AKA: Law of Conservation of Matter. Mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. In a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged to make new products with new properties. +. A chemical reaction is when chemical bonds break and new bonds form.

Mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction
In a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged to make new products with new properties. +
A chemical reaction is when chemical bonds break and new bonds form.
Reactants Products Mass of Reactants = Mass of Products
Chemical reactions are represented on paper by chemical equations.
Chemical equations are a shorter, easier way to show chemical reactions because they use symbols instead of words.
Coefficients show the number of each type of molecule in a reaction. Subscripts show the number of each type of atom in a reaction.
