it is neither. no chemical reaction or physical change (melting boiling etc) can change net mass
only nuclear reactions change the over all mass by converting mass to energy via Einstein's famous E=MC^2 equation

∙ 8y agoThe mass of an ingredient does not change during physical changes. Because a physical change does not make a new substance, the mass cannot change. For example, if you cut a sugar cube in two, then the sum of the masses of these two halves should be equal to the original mass of the uncut cube.

∙ 11y agoYes, it does. It does not change in a Chemical Change though.
-------
In this case (physical change) mass doesn't change.
In a chemical change the total mass remain unchanged but the reactants are transformed.

∙ 15y agono there isnt, mass is neither created nor destroyed...for example if u put sugar in water it dissolves and then u boil the water out and the sugar u had put in it is the only thing left
Wiki User
∙ 13y agono, its always conserved .
Its never created nor destroyed.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Loss of mass is unique to the nuclear reaction.

What are the characteristic of physical change?
Some common characteristics of physical changes are change in texture, change in shape, and change in state. There can also be a change in temperature and a change in color, but these are also common characteristics of chemical changes. A physical change does not change the composition of the original substance.
Is seeds to pumpkin physical or chemical change?
This process involve chemical reactions but also physical changes.
When the physical state of a substance changes during a phase what happens to the temperature of the system?
The temperature remain constant during a change of phase.
Is cake baking a chemical or physical change?
It is a chemical change. A chemical change is when you can't take the item back to its original state. Ex. A baked cake can't go back to cake batter.
Is making ice a chemical or physical change?
im think it is a physical change because there chemical bond are formed during ice makig.only a physical chage ocuur that the density of the water gets low and it becomes hard. regards Abdul karim
During an energy change?
What changes and what remains the same during a physical change
How can you tell if a physical reaction is occuring?
During a physical change the chemical molecule is not affected; physical changes are changes of phase or form.
Can a substance produced during a physical change easily change back?
Yes. Chemical changes are irreversible, but physical changes can easily be changed back
What are the differences betwen physical and chemical changes in terms of what happenes to molecules?
During a chemical change the molecule is transformed; during a physical change the molecule is not transformed.
What is a characteristic that best describes what happens during a physical change?
There are no chemical changes.
Is fashioning a table leg from a piece of wood chemical or physical changes?
Physical. Physical changes include things such as changing shape or color. Chemical changes change the chemical properties of a material, often during a chemical reaction.
What does not change when a substance changes matter?
During a physical change, the matter of what the substance is made out of doesn't change.
Is mixing cement a chemical or physical change?
Actually both physical and chemical changes are happening during cement mixing.
What are the characteristic of physical change?
Some common characteristics of physical changes are change in texture, change in shape, and change in state. There can also be a change in temperature and a change in color, but these are also common characteristics of chemical changes. A physical change does not change the composition of the original substance.
Is melting a phyical or chemical change?
Physical. Melting is always a physical change.
Which change takes place during the boiling water?
During boiling of water,water changes its state from liquid to gas due to a change in temperature. Therefore it is a physical change.
What happens to the characteristics of a substance during a physical change?
The change in characteristics is entirely dependent on how you have physically changed it. However most physical changes effect shape and size.
