What are the three basic laws of matter?
- Law of Conservation of Mass
- Law of Definite Proportions
- Law of Multiple Proportions
A chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another
Law of Conservation of Mass
The mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants
Law of Conservation of Mass
Law of Conservation of Mass is outlined by
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier
A chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass
Law of Definite Proportions
Law of Definite Proportions was established by
Joseph Proust
States that the mass of one element that can combine with a fixed mass of another element are in a ratio of small whole numbers
Law of Multiple Proportions
When elements combine, and the ratios of the elements are not the same (CO to CO2 , ratio: 1:2)
Law of Multiple Proportions
Are atoms of the same element but have different mass numbers
