Learning Objectives:
• Describe oxidation reactions of metals and non-metals
• State the law of conservation of mass
• Explain the phlogiston theory of combustion
Conservation of mass
In a chemical reaction
(within a closed system),
mass cannot be created or
destroyed. The mass of the
reactants = mass of
products
Zinc
+ Oxygen
→ Zinc
Oxide

Task 2: complete the worksheet
Challenge me:
State 5 ways we can reduce pollution
Answer:
Walking or using public transport instead of cars / reducing
plastic usage / buy energy-efficient appliances / save energy
by switching off electrical items when not in use / planting
trees / using electric cars
Task 2: Check your answers
1. mass, equal, destroyed
2. It might be less than the reactants as some of
the product may have escaped.

If you build a campfire like this one, you start with a big pile
of logs. As the fire burns, the piles of logs slowly shrink
until all that’s left is a small pile of ash. What happened to
the matter that you started with? Was it destroyed by the
fire?
