Why is it that when a solid dissolves in a liquid the mass of the solution that is made is the same as the mass of the solid added to the liquid?
this is because the amount of solute in the solution will have the same number of moles as that of the solid.
When sugar dissolves in water is there a mass change?
No
Does solid water have the same mass?
Need more data to answer. Are you talking about the mass of an object, neither air nor water, being the same when in the air or in the water? Yes. Are you talking about the total mass of all the air on earth compared to the total mass of all the water on earth? Definitely not.
If 0.2 of a solid dissolves in 100grams of solvent what is the mass of the solution made?
100.2 grams. There's no loss of mass when something dissolves. If there was then you'd get what might amount to an enormous explosion caused by the loss of mass in the same way as an atomic bomb works.
What dissolves alka seltzer the best?
Alka seltzer dissolves pretty well in water. However when transferred to coke, alka-seltzer will not only dissolves very well but also fast enough to produce a stream of foam. There are many videos regarding this experiment on the internet.

What will happen if an object has a density greater than water?
If inserted into the water as a solid "blob" then it will sink - unless it dissolves first. But, if because of the shape, the mass of water displaced by whole object is greater than the mass of the object, it will float - just as ships made of metal do.
Why does the mass of water and an antacid tablet go down when the tablet dissolves in water?
The Law of Mass Conservation is related to a closed system; but also in this case the initial mass of the antacid tablet is equal to the sum of masses of the products obtained after the reaction.

If something dissolves into something else will it change mass?
The mass of the solution will be equal to the mass of the solute plus the mass of the solvent. However, the total mass does not change.

What is meant by the term dry mass?
mass of solid matter without water.
If you cut a solid in two pieces does the mass change?
The total mass remain unchanged but each piece has its mass.
Does the mass of water decrease when salt is added?
Because the formula for density=Mass/Volume, so since density of water is always constant, when the volume (the amount of water) increases, then the mass (in grams) will also increase to make sure the density # is the same. Mass and Volume are directly proportional. when one goes up, the other goes up, and vice versa.
What happens to the mass of the solvent when the solute dissolves?
It remains constant since no liquid or solid escapes. However, it can also be argued that the total mass drops, since the surface of the solute evaporates, reducing the amount of substance in the solution.
