Yes and no. Yes because most of the mass isn't a firecracker anymore, and no because mass is never lost or gained in a chemical reaction, which is what a firecracker explosion is. If you have a nuclear powered firecracker, however, it would be a definite yes because some mass would be converted into energy.

When a fire cracker explodes matter is lost?

No matter is lost when a firecracker explodes. When the gunpowder inside ignites, it turns rapidly into gases and powder residue. The paper shell is either burned or fragmented into fine particles.


When a firecracker explodes mass is a lost?

No. The explosion of a firecracker is a chemicalexplosion. Matter is converted from one form to another; molecules, that is, the atoms in the molecules, rearrange themselves releasing energy. That's the blast and the light. But the total mass of the substances involved is carried over into the combustion byproducts. No mass is lost. Chemistry does not change the involved mass in a reaction. Only nuclear reactions cause change in mass. In chemical reactions, energy can be released or absorbed according to the reaction and the constituent substances involved.


In a nuclear reaction mass must be lost to produce energy. true or false?

False. Both mass and energy are conserved.


A brown dwarf is what's left when a large star explodes true or false?

False. A brown dwarf is a failed star that cannot sustain nuclear fusion. When a star explodes it will leav behind either a neutron star or a black hole depending on its mass.


How do you calculate the percentage of mass lost for bicarbonates?

To calculate the percentage of mass lost for bicarbonates, you would first determine the initial mass of the bicarbonate compound. Then, subtract the final mass after the reaction or process from the initial mass to find the mass lost. Finally, divide the mass lost by the initial mass and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of mass lost.
