I just know my daughter was our dependent the year she graduated from college because she lived with us until December, but she will not be this year (2012 taxes) since she has her own place. She is still on our health insurance until she's 26; however.
Answers. The law of conservation of matter states that in any given system that is closed to the transfer of matter, the amount of matter in the system stays constant. The law of conservation of matter says that in chemical reactions, the total mass of the products must equal the total mass of the reactants.
The conservation of matter is a scientific law. The word conservation means to keep the same. It does not matter if the object changes shape or if it is cut up. According to this law the mass of an object always stays same.
