Based on your mixtures lab, how do mixtures differ from compounds? Make a claim and support with evidence from the lab. 

The parts of a compounds are always in a specific ratio, while a mixture's is not. In our lab, every group had a different amount of each colored bean but it was still a mixture. However, every group had the same ratio of elements in the compounds they built.

Answer the question using evidence from the formula...is matter being created? 

No matter is not created! The same amount of matter on one side of the equation is on the other. Ex: There are 4 total hydrogen atoms on the left (H4) and 4 on the right (2H2)
