The mass of the whole doesn't change, it's simply the sum of the mass of the solute and the mass of the solvent.

Difference between organic and inorganic solvents?

Like dissolves like. Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes best, and non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes best. Water is a polar molecule, and it therefore dissolves other polar molecules or ionic compounds. Organic solvents are generally not as polar as water or completely non-polar, so things like hydrocarbons, high molar mass alcohols and molecular compounds dissolve best in them.Also, water can hydrogen bond extremely well, which results in some of its unique properties, such as it's high boiling point (especially for it molar mass) and it's high surface tension. Typically organic solvents have much lower boiling points and a lower surface tension.It's also worth mentioning that water is completely non-toxic and environmentally benign, whereas most organic solvents are fairly toxic, especially if ingested, and many are carcinogenic.


Is mass always the same?

No, mass can change depending on the amount of matter an object contains. This means mass can change when matter is added or removed from an object. However, mass remains constant regardless of the object's location or environment.


What can be added or taken away from an atom to change the atomic mass?

The atomic mass of an atom can be changed by adding or removing subatomic particles. By adding or removing protons, neutrons, or electrons, the atomic mass will be altered. Changing the number of protons will change the element, while changing the number of neutrons will create isotopes of the same element.


How does the atomic mass change when a proton is added to its nucleus?

Since the atomic mass consists of protons and neutrons, adding a proton would add one unit to the atomic massguessing that the number of neutrons doesn't change.


What must be added or taken away for a change in the state of matter to occur?

I believe "heat"To change from one state of matter to another state of matter heat is added or taken away.I think that makes sense!

Can an object's mass change?

An object's mass is constant and does not change, unless additional mass is added or removed. The mass of an object is an intrinsic property.


What about matter can change and what does not change according to law?

mass cannot change quanity if it is not added or removed

When fuel is burnt does its mass change?

When fuel is burned, its mass does not change. The conversion of fuel to energy during combustion involves a rearrangement of atoms and molecules, but the total mass remains constant according to the law of conservation of mass.


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 doesn't mass change when moved?

Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that represents the amount of matter it contains. When an object is moved, its mass does not change because mass is not dependent on the position or location of the object in space. The mass of an object remains the same regardless of its position, as long as no matter is added to or removed from the object.


What are the factors that affect how a solute dissolves?

Factors that affect how a solute dissolves include temperature, pressure, polarity, and surface area of the solute. Increasing temperature generally increases solubility, while increasing pressure can have varying effects depending on the nature of the solute. Polar solutes generally dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. Increasing the surface area of the solute can also increase the rate of dissolution.


Why doesn't the mass of a beaker full of ice change as it melts?

Because it is a physical change only. Nothing, except heat, is added or removed in the process.
