The Law of Conservation of Mass means that mass neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In a chemical formula, the mass is conserved, since the formula can show that the atoms are only rearranged. Sometimes, balancing of chemical equations might be needed to make it true.
Since there's the same amount of atoms as before, the mass is the same too. Thus the chemical equations and the Law are linked.
Hope it helps

While writing a chemical equation the Reactant and the Product side should be balanced so the mass of each element remains the same.
According to Law Of Conservation of mass,
Mass can neither be created nor destroyed
i.e. Total Mass on the reactant side should equal to the mass of the product side.

Yes, Chemical equations are related to mass conservation..
As the mass of reactants & products are always same..
I would like to add that a long time ago, this was even proved by some scientist.
He weighed the masses of reactants & after reaction, weighed the products & found both equall.

A chemical equation must be balanced, that is it must have the same number of atoms of each substance on each side of the equal sign. A good reminder of the conservation of mass

Chemical equations demonstrate it. Chemical equations must be "balanced", in that they must show how many of each type of atom or ion is on each side of the equation (reactants and products).
For example, I can say that in plants, CO2 and H20 are put together to make glucose sugar, C6H12O6. This is not balanced yet because I have 6 carbons in my sugar molecule, but the CO2 had only 1 in it.
The extra carbons can't come from nowhere at all! So, i have to show that it took 6 of them, and 6 waters too:
6CO2 + 6 H2O --- C6H12O6.
The equation shows how matter is rearranged into different patterns, but not created or destroyed.

a million. Valence electrons are the "parts" of the atoms which artwork jointly with different atoms. In ionic compounds, the metallic atom has a bent to strip electrons from a nonmetal, forming cations and anions. even as 2 nonmetals style a conpound, valence electrons are shared between 2 atoms, with each and each and every polishing off an octet (era 2 consistently style an octet). 2. even as a reaction takes position, it really is assumed to ensue in a "closed gadget." If Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas combust to style water, the quantities in the formulation are written in stoichiometric proportions. To have water on the best, you should write 2H2 + O2 > 2H2O. The form of H atoms and O atoms on both part are equivalent; accordingly, mass is conserved.

conservation.........of ,..........mass states matter cant be created or destroyed........so in chemical equation.atoms have 2 b balanced...........
4.example..,
2H2+O2 ----2h2o
