- A campfire is a chemical reaction involving wood and oxygen from the air. In light of the law of conservation of mass, explain what happens to the mass of the wood during the reaction. How is mass conserved if the wood disappears?arrow_forwardMatter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Thus, the mass of the products of a chemical reaction must be equal to the mass of the starting materials. Formally, this concept is called the law of conservation of mass. When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 16.8 g g of carbon were burned in the presence of 59.1 g of oxygen, 14.3 g of oxygen remained unreacted.
