The law of conservation of mass states that “mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but can be transformed from one form to another”.
It implies that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products.
By Einstein’s energy-mass relation, we know that energy and mass can be interconverted. So the mass which isn’t accounted for in the chemical equation is converted into energy.
