is it better to observe the law of conservation of mass in an open system of a closed system?Explain why in 2-3 sentences

the mass of any one element at the beginning of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction. If we account for all reactants and products in a chemical reaction, the total mass will be the same at any point in time in any closed system.

I hope I helped you!

Observing the law of conservation of mass would be better in a closed system.

The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

Why is it better to observe this law in a closed system?

Take for example, you are heating a substance after weighing without closing it (an open system). Parts of the substance can escape into the atmosphere during the reaction process thereby reducing the mass of the final products when compared to the initial mass of the substance.

Alternatively, you chose to heat the substance in a closed container whereby nothing can escape from it. The mass of the entire content would remain constant, even though the substance itself might have changed.
