Law of conservation of mass - No detectable gain or loss in mass occurs in chemical reactions. However, the state of a substance may change in a chemical reaction. For example, substances involved in a chemical reaction can change from solid states to gaseous states but the total mass will not change. Note that the energy released (exothermic) or adsorbed (endothermic) in a chemical reaction is a result of energy transfer between atoms and their environment.
Law of Definite Proportion - The elements in a given compound are always combined in the same proportion by mass. This law forms the basis for the definition of a chemical compound. For example, a water molecule (H2O) consists of two hydrogen atoms each of relative mass of 1 and one oxygen atom of relative mass of 16 (rounded to nearest integer number).
By putting a sensible unit measurement this means that there are 2 g of hydrogen and 16 g of oxygen in a sample of 18 g of water. The ratio is 1 to 8. So, the sum of ratio is 9.
Eg
I. 100 grams O2 + 1 grams H2 → 9 grams H2O + 92 grams O2
II. 50 grams O2 + 5 grams H2 → 45 grams H2O + 10 grams O2
III. 80 grams O2 + 5 grams H2 → 45 grams H2O + 40 grams O2
How can we determine the amount of water and oxygen are produced ?
Explanation :
Remember the ratio of water, 1 Hydrogen and 8 Oxygen.
That means,
1 grams H2 that reacted multiplied to 9 ( the sum of ratio)
And than the sum of mass that reacted subtracted with the multiplication operation
Sum of mass 100 grams O2 added 1 grams H2 equal to 101 grams. The Hydrogen multiplied by 9 (sum of ratio), and we get 9 for Hydrogen. Sum of mass (101) subtracted by 9, it become 92.

Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when you make love with it. Chemistry is bad when you make crack with it.

When you work with somebody you have chemistry with, it's easy and it's fun. You hardly call it work.
