What does CER standard for?

Claim, Evidence, Reasoning

100

What is the law of conservation of Mass?

Mass can never be created or destroyed in a closed system

100

What is mass? 

The amount of matter in a substance

200

What is the generic equation for the line? What is the formula for finding slope? 

y=mx+b

y2-y1/x2-x1

200
Does an open or closed system invalidate the law of conservation of mass? 

NO! Open systems allow matter to be exchanged with surroundings, but still are never created or destroyed. 

200

What is density? 

The amount of mass per unit volume. The amount of mass in a given amount of space.

A student adds salt to water. He finds the mass of the salt to be 2.0g, the mass of the water to be 10.0g, and the mass of the mixture to be 11.9g. Does this experiment validate the law of conservation? Explain your answer. 

YES! Open system, so may have lost some salt in the transfer process. Matter was not created or destroyed, and the law is validated.
