What to Focus On
- Mass is conserved in physical and chemical changes.
- Lavoisier proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass in 1789.
- Proust proposed the Law of Constant Proportions.
- Gas escaping can cause an apparent mass change in an open setup.
- A balloon can trap gas and help show conservation of mass.
- Sodium sulfate and barium chloride form barium sulfate precipitate and sodium chloride.
- A compound has fixed composition by mass.
- Water always has hydrogen and oxygen in the mass ratio 1:8.
- Sodium chloride has sodium and chlorine in the mass ratio 23:35.5.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mass can disappear if a gas is formed during a chemical reaction.
If the final balance reading is slightly different, the law has failed.
All compounds must have the same composition if they contain the same elements.
