Less quantam Phizzy but still a good question i think:

AT college we have a chemistry texbook (gasp!) (titled world of chemistry)

In it is an interesting foot note.

The law of conservation of matter has only one known exception to this law: When nuclear reactions occur with radioactive isotopes or under specail conditions of artificial reactions, the conservation of law (So far) has always been reitave for chemical changes other thean neuclaer ractions.

If i follow this right they are saying that when a neuclar reaction takes palce, matter is destoryed.

To me that cant be possible, you can destory an atom but the protons electrons neutrons and quarks are still existing, just distrubeted.

any comments?

Finally I know the meaning of "Vac day"!

Jazak, I know even less about chemestry than I do about spelling, but that's how I would read it. Maybe it's simply converted to something we don't understand yet?

How old is this book? It sounds like they've forgotten that M=E/C^2. You get heat energy from nuclear reactions - just think of Hiroshima! And it's not a fundamental law that particles must be conserved as particles - the universe wouldn't work if it was, since then E could not possibly = MC^2

the law of conservation of matter

I would go so far as to say there is no such thing - it's an oversimplistic interpretation of the laws of thermodynamics that only makes any semantic sense if you define energy as a form of matter.
And if you do, then it is not broken. E=MC^2 has been experimentally proven to better than 5 parts in 10 million (Pritchard: http://www.newscientist.com/channel/fundamentals/mg18925411.300.html)

I hate to say it, but I do support the idea of getting some admins around here. If anybody else supports the idea, I'd be more than happy to email the issue to the Prof.
