Question

explain how daltons theory of the atom and the conservation of mass are related

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory stated that atoms are indivisible and indestructible particles. In chemical reactions, atoms are just rearranged. Since atoms have a fixed mass and are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions (a key - point of his theory), this supports the law of conservation of mass which states that the total mass before a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass after the reaction.

Answer:

Dalton's atomic theory, which posits atoms are indivisible and indestructible and are only rearranged in reactions, supports the law of conservation of mass as atoms' mass is conserved in reactions.
