A candle with paraffin wax and a wick is burning as it reacts with oxygen in the air.
After it was completely burned, you see some smoke (carbon dioxide gas) and
water vapor. Did you ever wonder what happens to the total mass of the reactants
before and after burning?
Guide Questions:
1. What is the total mass of the candle wax and oxygen (reactants)?
2. What is the total mass of the carbon dioxide and water vapor (products)?
3. Describe the total mass of the reactants and the total mass of the products after the
burning process?
4. Does the total mass of the reactants and the total mass of the products appear to be
equal after chemical reaction or not? Why?
5. Why is it that you always end up with less paraffin wax after burning the candle than
when you started it?
1. Rusting of iron

Specific Week: 5 and 6 (LAS 3)
Target Competency: Apply the principles of conservation of mass to chemical reactions.
(S10MT-IVe-g-23)
Guide Questions:
1. Compare the total mass of the reactants and the total mass of the products.
2. Do all of the chemical reactions given above conformed the Law of Conservation of
Mass?
3. What does the mass of the reactants and products tell us about the Law of
Conservation of Mass? Why?
REFLECTION:
We commonly encounter chemical reactions in daily life such as fire and biological
metabolism. Cite at least two (2) examples of real-life situations that involve the Law of
conservation of mass and explain how these affects you.
