Question

lavoisier was careful to use a sealed jar in order to best confirm conservation of in a reaction.

Explanation:

Lavoisier's experiment with a sealed jar was to confirm the law of conservation of mass. In a sealed system, mass is conserved during a chemical reaction, meaning the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products. Using a sealed jar prevents matter (mass) from entering or leaving the system, allowing accurate measurement to verify mass conservation.

Answer:

mass
