This demo would be appropriate at the beginning of a general chemistry course or anytime when the law of conservation of mass is discussed. |
Collisions of this kind would appear to violate the first law of thermodynamics, the conservation of mass and energy. |
Or do those calculations of yours freely infringe the law of conservation of energy but have scruples about the conservation of mass? |
But that law assumes the conservation of mass energy as well as a space which is Euclidean. |
I think its news even to many chemists that the law of conservation of mass and the law of conservation of matter are different things. |
It obeys the law of conservation of mass since the amount of phosphorous and oxygen remains the same throughout the reaction. |
