The only physical changes that have any effect on the mass

of an object are lopping a piece off or gluing a new piece on.

How does physical change and chemical change affect mass?

Neither of them affect mass in a closed system.


Is mass a chemical change or physical change?

Mass is neither a physical nor chemical change; however, it is a physical property of matter.


Does mass change in a physical change?

In this case mass doesn't change.


What is it called when there is no change in mass?

It is a physical change.


How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?

Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.


How does temperature affect physical and chemical chemical change?

A change in temperature can change the rate of physical or chemical change.


Does gravity affect your weight and mass?

The force of gravity (or acceleration) affects weight but not mass. An object's mass does not change - it is the physical composition of the object. Weight increases as the force of gravity increases and decreases in the same way.


What does it mean to say that mass is conserved during a physical change?

There is one meaning when mass conserves during a physical change. This means that mass will stay the same after the change.


What is the change that does not affect the chemical properties?

It is called a physical change.


When a popsicle melts does the mass inreases?

No. A physical change like melting does not make something's mass change.


Is it physical or chemical change when dough becomes bread?

Physical. This is so because it is not a change in energy, but a change in density, or mass.


How does a chemical change affect mass?

The law of conservation of mass, states that mass is conserved in chemical reactions. chemistry is the study of the composition of matter, (what stuff is made of) ans the characteristic changes in the composition of matter. Such as what kind of "stuff" will burn, rust, rot, or otherwise change what it is made out of. If we add the weight (mass) or reactants such as paper and air before the fire and then take the mass (weight) after the fire of the smoke ans ashes, the mass is the same. ONLY in nuclear reactions is mass converted to energy, only in stars nuclear reactors , and atom bombs is mass (weight) converted to energy( light, or heat). So stars are losing mass (weight). A physical change is not a change in composition, typical physical changes are the melting of solids, and the boiling of liquids. Also cutting something big into little pieces, is a physical change NOT a chemical change a short board is still a board.
