No.
In a chemical change, atoms are combined or separated, but the mass of each atom stays the same, so there is conservation of mass.

In order to have mass created or lost, a subatomic change must occur; such as atomic fission, fusion or decay.

It is dissolved into the surrounding air which cannot be detected by the scale. Google the law of conservation of mass to learn more.

Yes. By Einstein's equation any time energy is gained or lost mass must do the opposite. The change is so small it is undetectable.

How the diagram you have drawn shows that no mass is lost during the reaction?

Calculating the mass of reactants and products in a chemical reaction is a sufficient demonstration.


This is not lost in a chemical reaction?

Mass can not be changed


Is matter being lost when burning a log?

In a chemical reaction the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products; burning is a chemical reaction.


The mass of an atom increases or decreases during a chemical reaction?

the mass increases during a chemical reaction. because if heated or cooled then it would put on more mass for the atom.


Mass can be lost or gained in a chemical reaction.?

False


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.


How does law of the conservation of mass apply to chemical reactions?

The Law of Conservation of Mass applies to chemical changes. When considering a chemical change this would mean that the total mass of all of the reactants in the chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of products in the chemical reaction.


How does the of the conservative of mass apply to chemical reactions?

The law of conservation of mass states that in a close container, when a chemical reaction occurs, no mass will be lost.


What undergoes no chemical change during a chemical reaction?

A catalyst undergoes no chemical change during a chemical reaction.


What law states that the mass can not be lost or gained in a chemical reaction?

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the product.


How does the law of the conservation of mass apply to to chemical reactions?

Atoms cannot be added or lost in a chemical reaction.


Elements can be lost or gain in chemical reaction?

Elements cannot be lost/gained: this is the law of mass conservation.
