number of each element present in the lefthand side of the equation is equal to the number of that element in the right hand side.

actually the law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed..it just transforms from one medium to another..so when a chem. reaction occurs..to balance the equations we use the law.so that no of atoms of an element on the reactants side is always equal to the no of atoms of an element on the products side

well there has to be an balance of the chemicals so if we imagine a box... you may put in two hydrogen atom and a oxygen and you get out a water molecule, H2O... its obvious that we can get the water as we put into the 'chemical cooking pot' the elements we need. Basically we are saying that you can NEVER make anything dissappear.. ever! it has to leave as either another chemical or energy (heat, light, movement) this can be Exothermic (warms up) or Endothermic (cold) reaction, some reactions explode, pop, flash and bang!

You basically use the principle as a way to balance the equation.

If the principle is right then the atom counts on both sides of a chemical equation must be equal.

basically law of conservation of mas states that mass is conserved i.e. the mass of reactents is equal to the mass of products.while balancing equations u have to keep in mind that the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of the reactants.
