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

Why isn't a change in mass an indicator of chemical change?

Neither a chemical nor a physical change results in a change in mass. According to the law of conservation of matter/mass, matter can neither be created nor destroyed. This law holds true for physical and chemical changes.


How does physical change and chemical change affect mass?

In a physical change, the mass remains the same since it involves a rearrangement of particles without changing their identities. However, in a chemical change, the mass can change due to the formation or breaking of chemical bonds, resulting in a gain or loss of mass.


Is mass in both physical and chemical change?

neither physical or changes its property


What property stays the same during physical change chemical change?

mass


Mass does not change during a chemical change how about for a physical change?

Physical changes are like cutting paper. The mass does not change. Chemical changes do not change total mass either. If you put a candle in a sealed container so that you may measure the total mass of the candle and the air before burning, then light the candle electrically but keep everything sealed, the total mass after burning will still be the same. But if you measure only the candle, then its mass has changed. So the mass of one single 'ingredient' will change during a chemical change.

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.


What is the total mass before and after a chemical or physical change called?

its is a previous particle


What can indicate physical or chemical changes depending on the cause of the change?

People can


What happens to mass during chemical and physical change?

it stays da same
