Antoine Lavoisier A French chemist known as the father of modern chemistry who established the law of conservation of mass. Conservation of Mass A principle stating that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Chemical Reaction A process where reactants are transformed into products without any loss of mass. Reactants Substances present before a chemical reaction that are transformed into products. Products Substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction from reactants. Stoichiometry The calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the conservation of mass. Solution Chemistry A branch of chemistry focusing on the properties and behavior of solutions, guided by mass conservation. Balanced Chemical Equation An equation representing a chemical reaction with equal mass on both sides, reflecting mass conservation. H2O The chemical formula for water, a product formed from hydrogen and oxygen in a reaction. H2 The chemical formula for hydrogen, a reactant in the formation of water. O2 The chemical formula for oxygen, a reactant in the formation of water.
