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.

Is mass a chemical change or physical change?

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.


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.


What is conserved during any change color volume identity or mass?

The answer is mass. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that when a chemical or physical change takes place, you end up with the same amount of mass that you started in. It may just be in a different state, such as a gas.


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 two things are unaffected in a physical change?

In a physical change, the chemical composition of the substance remains the same, meaning the elements or molecules present do not change. Additionally, the mass of the substance is also unaffected, as no matter is either created or destroyed during a physical change.


Does mass of ingredients change during a physical changes?

it is neither. no chemical reaction or physical change (melting boiling etc) can change net mass only nuclear reactions change the over all mass by converting mass to energy via Einstein's famous E=MC^2 equation
