The law of conservation of matter relates to a balanced equation if the number of elements in a compound of reactants equals the same number of elements in the products after a chemical or physical or reaction has taken place in the said equation. Good Luck.

The law of conservation of matter states that all matter is neither created nor destroyed, just changed and shifted around. A balanced equation is just that: balanced. The amount of reactants and products are the same.

By balancing an equation you make sure the same number of each type of atom appear on each side of the equation. This will make sure the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products.

a balanced equation shows you that if u start of with one amount of an element, uv gotta finish with it too...so like in my examples before
H2+O2-->H2O
it doesnt balance or follow the law because you start with 2 Os but finish with one when u balance it evens out to end with what u started with and witha n equal mass.
2H2+O2-->2H2O
now what u start with is in the result and both sides are balanced
