### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Law of Conservation of Mass**: - The Law of Conservation of Mass states that in a chemical reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed. This means that the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products. 2. **Understanding the Law of Conservation of Energy**: - The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The total energy in an isolated system remains constant. ...
