How does a balanced chemical equation demonstrate the law of conservation of mass?
A. It shows that only physical changes follow the law conservation of Mass
B. It shows that all compounds remain bonded after the reaction
C. It shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during the reaction
D. It shows that the properties of the elements stay the same after the reaction
C. It shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during the reaction

The correct answer is C. It shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during the reaction.
A balanced chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction that obeys the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms of that element on the product side. This conservation of atoms ensures that mass is conserved throughout the reaction.
To balance a chemical equation, you need to ensure that the same number of each type of atom appears on both sides of the equation. This is typically accomplished by adjusting the coefficients in front of the chemical formulas.
By balancing the equation, you are essentially showing that no atoms are created or destroyed during the reaction. The total number of atoms before the reaction is the same as the total number of atoms after the reaction. This is a direct demonstration of the law of conservation of mass.
Aww... what happened?
I will post later and share what happened.... it was a disturbing experience, though....
Frame what happened as a lesson. Think out what happened, and what it means. Then, see it as an opportunity to learn, and be prepared in the future. When you are older, you can teach your kids based on your experiences, and they win from it. Perhaps even your grandchildren will learn valuable lessons from it.
I am sorry it went badly for you, but do your best to make something good from the remains.
Thanks, Bob... I will seriously think about that.... I'll post a more detailed message tomorrow letting everyone know what actually happened
