Pls help In your own words, explain how chemists properly represent the law of conservation of matter in their chemical equations.

They represent it by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side is the same as the product side

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter stated that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Chemical equations involve combining atoms of elements. The compounds combined by chemists are called REACTANTS while the produced compounds are called PRODUCTS.

In order to conform to the law of conservation of matter, the same quantity of matter present in the reactants must be present in the products. This means that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side must be the same as the product side. For example;

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

In this chemical equation for photosynthesis, number of atoms in the reactant side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen) are the same as that in the product side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen), hence, this obeys the law of conservation of mass.

In a nutshell, chemists chemists properly represent the law of conservation of matter in their chemical equations by making sure that same number of atoms of reactants is present in the products.

- "the choice that is not an indicator of a chemical change is "state of matter changes". more common than not, chemical reactions produce energy in the form of light or heat. along with energy, they also produce a new substance called the product that could be in any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid)."
