Question

An example of a scientific law is the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Based on what you know about scientific laws in general, classify the following statements regarding the law of conservation of mass as true or false.
A) It was developed from past observations
B) It is subject to experimentation and revision.
C) It explains why mass is conserved.
D) It predicts future observations

Answer 1

Answer:A) It was developed from past observations- true

It is subject to experimentation and revision.- false

It explains why mass is conserved- false

It predicts future observations-true

Explanation:

Before a hypothesis is proclaimed to be a law in science, numerous observation must have confirmed its validity and rigorous experimentation under carefully controlled conditions usually precedes the acceptance of a hypothesis as a law. The law of conservation of mass was developed from numerous past observation that proved its validity.
