Law of Conservation of Mass

Chemical Reactions - Counting Atoms / Determining if equations are balanced

Remember that The Law of Conservation of Mass says that the Mass of the Reactants = the Mass of the Products.  We need to count the number of atoms on both sides of an equation to determine if an equation is balanced or not.
