E = Mc(super 2) for the Chemist: When is Mass Conserved?
Treptow. Richard S.
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n11 p1636-1641 Nov 2005
An equation derived by Albert Einstein in 1905 that expresses a relationship between mass and energy, formulated as E = mc(super 2) is discussed with reference to the extent mass is conserved. This query can be used to challenge students and develop their language and critical thinking skills.
