No. Physical and chemical changes do not result in less mass, only different arrangements of the atoms and molecules. Changing mass requires either a nuclear reaction such as decay or fusion, or adding very large amounts of energy to the atomic particles (which increases their apparent mass under special relativity).
*Also, technically, there is less mass in a positive ion than in a negative ion, because electrons have been removed to create a positively-charged atom, and added to create a negatively-charged ion. But no mass is lost or converted, only the movement of practically negligible mass from atom to atom.

∙ 8y agoNo. During change in state of a matter, the amount of atoms/molecules in that matter does not change. Hence there is no change in mass. The only thing that changes is the volume and the energy associated with the matter.

Is the specific gravity of substance the same when the substance is in the solid state?
No. Roughly speaking, "specific gravity" is equivalent to density, i.e., mass divided by volume. If a substance changes its state, its volume will change, but its mass won't change - therefore, the density - the result of the division - will also change.
How does the amount of an object's gravity's strength change if the objects mass increases?
More mass will result in more gravitational force.
What does change when the state of matter changes?
Matter changing state is usually a result of the material changing temperature and/or a change in the surrounded pressure on the material. The change of state is usually associated with a change in its density.
Does a substance change mass if it changes physically?
No. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, and that does not change when the matter changes states. The matter will either contract or expand, depending on the current state and the state to be reached, but that does not change how much matter is in the object.
How can density be altered?
Heat or cool the substance will change it's physical state.
Is the specific gravity of substance the same when the substance is in the solid state?
No. Roughly speaking, "specific gravity" is equivalent to density, i.e., mass divided by volume. If a substance changes its state, its volume will change, but its mass won't change - therefore, the density - the result of the division - will also change.
Does the mass of something change if you change it shape?
No. Mass is independent of shape. The mass, as measured by weight, will be the same. If the material is compressible and you change the volume as a result of changing the shape, the density will change although the mass will not.
What does the law of conservation of mass - energy state?
It states that energy can change but mass can not change Chuma.C
Can a increase in density result from an increase in mass and no change in volume?
Yes. Density is mass/volume so if mass increases so does density if volume does not change
What happens to the overall mass of a substance when it changes state?
the mass does not change because in science class today we learned when you measure an ice cube (mass) it is the same mass of ice melted!
Did the law of conservation of mass state that the mass of all substances before a chemical change equals the mass of all the substance after the change?
Yes
What does a physical change substance result in?
One possibility is a change in state.
As a result of the law of conservation during a chemical change the mass of the products is equal to the mass of the?
The dog named Fluffly is equal to the mass of the reactant
Will the weight of an object change if it changes it state?
No. The mass of an object doesn't change (Law of Conservation of Mass), therefore its weight won't change either (weight = mass x gravity).
How does the amount of an objects gravity Strength change if an objects mass increases?
More mass will result in more gravitational force.
How does the amount of an object's gravity's strength change if the objects mass increases?
More mass will result in more gravitational force.

Matter changing state is usually a result of the material changing temperature and/or a change in the surrounded pressure on the material. The change of state is usually associated with a change in its density.
