Answer:

That’s because of the law of conservation of energy, which states that: Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy may change form during a chemical reaction. For example, energy may change from chemical energy to heat energy when gas burns in a furnace. The exact amount of energy remains after the reaction as before.
