Question 8 of 20

9. Which of the following statements is true about the law of conservation of mass?

In a chemical reaction, efforts should be made to preserve rare elements without changing them.

In a chemical reaction, the final mass of the products is always greater than the starting mass of the reactants.

In a chemical reaction, matter is not created or destroyed, but is conserved.

Matter can be created and destroyed but does not change forms.

Question 9 of 20

10. Which of the following statements is true about ‘Law of conservation of mass”?

If two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.
