Where does the matter go during a chemical reaction?
In short: Understanding how mass changes—or stays the same—is fundamental to chemistry. This video explains the mechanics of measuring mass loss in reactions and why substances seem to disappear.
The video explores the core principles of chemical calculations, specifically focusing on how to track mass as it moves through a reaction. It serves as an educational resource for students to understand whether mass is truly lost or simply transformed into different states.
Produced by the Fuse Foundation's 'Chemistry for All' project, the content is designed for use in flipped classrooms and as a revision aid to help learners master the basics of chemical measurements.
