Chemical reactions can be represented symbolically using chemical equations. In a chemical equation, reactants appear to the left of the arrow, while products appear to the right. The law of conservation of mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; rather, the existing atoms are just rearranged. Therefore, chemical equations must be balanced—that is, the same number of each kind of atom must be present before and after a chemical reaction. An unbalanced chemical equation is shown below. Balance the equation according to the law of conservation of mass.

PbCl2 Pb + Cl2 Does the chemical reaction shown above obey the law of conservation of mass?
Yes, because the equation is balanced.
Based on the models, was mass conserved in this chemical reaction?
Yes, because the number of each type of atom is the same in the products as it is in the reactants.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants in a reaction must the mass of the products in a reaction.
be equal to
