Law of Mass Conservation
No gain or loss of mass in chemical reactions; mass is conserved
Characterized by Antoine Lavoisier.
Law of Definite Proportions
Elements are combined in the same proportion by mass. Whole number ratios.
Characterized by Joseph Proust
John Daltons atomic theory
1.All matter consists of atoms.
2.Atoms are indestructible
3. Different elements have different atoms
4.All atoms of a given element are the same
5.Compounds are made by combining in whole number rations. Law of Definite Proportions.
