Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on using mathematical ideas to communicate the proportional relationships between masses of atoms in the reactants and the products, and the translation of these relationships to the macroscopic scale using the mole as the conversion from the atomic to the macroscopic scale. Emphasis is on assessing students’ use of mathematical thinking and not on memorization and rote application of problem-solving techniques.
Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include complex chemical reactions.

- Periodic Table of the Elements
- Mathematical Relationships – 1 mole = molar mass (g) = 6.02 × 1023 particles = 22.4 L at STP

This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation HS-PS1-7 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
- Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking
- Use mathematical representations of phenomena to support claims.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- PS1.B: Chemical Reactions
- The fact that atoms are conserved, together with knowledge of the chemical properties of the elements involved, can be used to describe and predict chemical reactions.
Crosscutting Concepts
- Energy and Matter
- The total amount of energy and matter in closed systems is conserved.
