Which postulate of Dalton's atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?
Question

Which postulate of Dalton's atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?

A.

All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms, which participate in chemical reactions

B.

Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties

C.

Atoms are indivisible particles, which cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction

D.

Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties

Correct option is C

The correct postulate of Dalton's atomic theory that aligns with the law of conservation of mass is (c)Atoms are indivisible particles, which cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Explanation:
· The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products during a chemical reaction.
· Dalton's postulate (c) suggests that atoms are fundamental units that neither disappear nor come into existence during a reaction. They simply rearrange to form new products.
While the other postulates are also part of Dalton's theory, they don't directly address the concept of mass being conserved in chemical reactions.
