Question

An example of a scientific law is the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.Based on what you know about scientific laws in general, classify the following statements regarding the law of conservation of mass as true or false.A) It was developed from past observationsB) It is subject to experimentation and revision.C) It explains why mass is conserved.D) It predicts future observations.

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, it makes a generalized observation that there will occur no change in the mass of a substance even if it undergoes a chemical reaction.

Whereas this law of conservation does not explain any phenomenon of why this conservation of mass occurs.

Therefore, the given statements are classified as follows.

A) It was developed from past observations - Ture

B) It is subject to experimentation and revision - True

C) It explains why mass is conserved - False

D) It predicts future observations - True
