Even though cement and bread are not substances, they can help you to understand these concepts: Whatever you do to volume affects mass the same way. Whatever you do to mass affects volume the same way. If you have half as much of a material, you would expect the volume of the material to also be half as much. If you have twice as much of the material, you would expect its volume to also be twice as much. Substances, which you know are always the same throughout, will follow this rule. This relationship between mass and volume will stay the same for any substance, no matter how much of that substance you can sample and measure in the classroom. Why is this principle about the relationship between mass and volume always true of substances, but not always true of mixtures?

The laboratory compared the mass of the starting reactants and final products of the combustion reaction. A technician determined the mass of the firewood and oxygen reactants before burning to be 2.72 kg. After the firewood finished burning, the pile of cooled ash that remained had a mass of 0.095 kg. According to the law of conservation of mass, matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Do the results of the technician’s combustion experiment contradict the law of conservation of mass?
