There is no gain in mass or matter in chemical or physical change for a couple of reasons. First, you can't gain matter. Matter cannot be made nor destroyed. Matter is anything that occupies space and weighs something. There is no gain in mass because because in the changes that may occur, you are not adding or subtracting any thing, but simply altering its appearance or the "kinds" of atoms.

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

Saying that mass is conserved during a physical change means that the total mass of the substances involved remains constant before and after the change. This principle is a fundamental aspect of the law of conservation of mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction or physical change, only transformed into different forms.

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.


What happens to mass during chemical and physical change?

Is mass a chemical change or physical change?

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


What happens to the mass when a physical change happens?

During a physical change, such as melting or boiling, the mass remains constant. The atoms and molecules rearrange themselves, but none are added or lost, so the total mass remains unchanged.


Why is mass converted during a physical change?

because some substances gain or loss weight during a reaction


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.


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.


When copper is heated strongly in an open dish its mass will?

remain constant as no mass is lost or gained during a physical change like heating copper.
