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)

no, because the magnesium was burned so mass was not lost

yes, because the missing mass was trapped by the closed system

no, because mass measured after the experiment decreased

yes, because the missing mass was released as smoke

Yes, because the missing mass was released as smoke. The experiment still shows the law of conservation of matter because even though the mass decreased, the missing mass was released as smoke, still within the system.
