The '''law of conservation of mass''' states that within a closed system, the total mass remains constant, regardless of the processes taking place in that system.<ref>http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/webdocs/Thermochem/Law-Cons-Mass-Energy.html</ref> Strictly speaking, this law applies only under certain circumstances, such as when dealing with [[chemical reaction]]s. Nuclear reactions are exempt from this rule.
The '''law of conservation of mass''' states that within a closed system, the total mass remains constant, regardless of the processes taking place in that system. Strictly speaking, this law applies only under certain circumstances, such as when dealing with [[chemical reaction]]s. Nuclear reactions are exempt from this rule.
The law of Mass Conservation is a development of Lavoisier's experimental discovery that, when all substances were properly accounted for—specifically gases, during the process of combustion—the total weight of a closed system is not changed by a chemical reaction.
