- States that in any closed system the amount of mass will remain constant over time
- This means that matter can neither be created nor destroyed
- In a chemical reaction, the mass of the reactants you start with will equal the mass of the products once the reaction is complete
- Even when matter is transformed, the mass will remain constant
