Question

The sandwich example relates to the Law of Conservation of Matter for Chemical Equations. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed. This is why there must be the same number of atoms on the reactant side as on the product side. Looking at the image below, does it demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Matter? Explain why.

The image below shows a sandwich being made. In this case, the sandwich consists of two slices of bread, one slice of cheese, and one slice of ham. When the sandwich is assembled, all of the ingredients are still present - the two slices of bread, the slice of cheese, and the slice of ham. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged. In this case, the ingredients of the sandwich are simply rearranged to form the final product. Therefore, the image does demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Matter.
