Solution
Law of conservation of mass
Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. Consequently, the total mass of the reactants must exactly equal the total mass of the products. To obey this law, we balance chemical equations, ensuring that the exact number of atoms of each element is identical on both sides of the reaction.
