What happens to the total mass of substances during a chemical reaction?
During a chemical change,chemical energy may be changed to other forms of energy.other forms of energy may also be changed to a chemical energy.
What happens during the fusion reaction of the suns core?
Nuclear fusion, the source of all the energy so generously radiated by the Sun, does two things: it converts hydrogen into helium (or rather, makes helium nuclei from protons) and it converts mass to energy. ... If the fusion reactions in the core become too weak, a star can and does collapse.
In a nuclear reaction WHAT does not have to be conserved?
While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared). In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.
The energy and particles given off during a nuclear reaction are called?
Radiation
What is meant by conservation of mass and energy?
Law of mass conservation in chemistry: in a chemical reaction the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.Law of energy conservation: in a closed system the energy remain constant.
What happens to the total mass of substances during a chemical reaction?

Why can't matter be creAted from energy?
In any reaction, or process, both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain constant. You might say that mass has energy, and energy has mass. Any mass or energy "created" during a reaction was already present previously.
What actors and actresses appeared in Energy Converts to Mass - 2009?
The cast of Energy Converts to Mass - 2009 includes: Scott Duprey
What happens to the mass that is lost during fusion?
Mass that is "lost" durning nuclear fusion is converted into binding energy to hold the newly formed atomic nucleus together. The lost mass, which is termed mass deficit, means the nucleus of the newly formed atom has less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that make up that nucleus. The stong reaction (strong nuclear force) participitates in the fursion reaction by mediating the conversion of mass into nuclear binding energy (or nuclear glue).It converts into the energy that is the desired end product of the reaction.

The sun converts matter into energy in the?
The Sun converts matter into energy in its core. The energy is created by reducing its mass through nuclear fission.
During the course of which type of reaction is energy consumed?
Any reaction that consumes energy, or has a positive delta(H), is called an endothermic reaction.
Why mc2 is used as nuclear fission energy?
That is because of the mass/energy equivalence. The energy that leaves the atoms after a nuclear reaction - initially as gamma rays - has a corresponding mass. If this energy later converts to another type of energy (such as heat), it will still have the corresponding energy. The conversion factor is, precisely, mc2 - that is, an energy of 9 x 1018 joules has a mass of 1 kg.
When energy converts into mass?
When there is annihilation between particle and anti particle then e converts m
Can you convert energy in to mass or mass into energy?
No. Nor can you convert mass into energy. In any reaction - including nuclear reactions - both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain the same, before and after the reaction. For example, the energy that escapes from a nuclear reaction also has a corresponding mass. On the other hand, the energy existed before the reaction as well, in the form of (nuclear) potential energy.
What does the sun give?
The sun converts mass into energy and releases them.
What quantities do not change during a nuclear reaction?
If you consider the equation, E=mc2, you can see that an amount of mass can be considered as equal to an amount of energy. In other words, we could take all the mass in a nuclear reaction and figure out how much energy that represents. If you add that to the amount of energy present at the same time, you get a summation of energy (some of which is mass represented as energy). That amount of energy does not change in a nuclear reaction.
