Sasha does an experiment that involves burning an 8 gram strip of magnesium metal in an open flame. After the experiment Sasha measured 5.5 grams of white ash left over after burning the strip of metal. Does this experiment show the law of conservation of matter? (1 point)Responsesyes, because the missing mass was trapped by the closed systemyes, because the missing mass was trapped by the closed systemyes, because the missing mass was released as smokeyes, because the missing mass was released as smokeno, because mass measured after the experiment decreasedno, because mass measured after the experiment decreasedno, because the magnesium was burned so mass was not lost
yes, because the missing mass was trapped by the closed system. The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. In this experiment, the mass of the magnesium was not lost but rather transformed into the white ash, so the law of conservation of matter is demonstrated.
