No. Physical and chemical changes do not result in less mass, only different arrangements of the atoms and molecules. Changing mass requires either a nuclear reaction such as decay or fusion, or adding very large amounts of energy to the atomic particles (which increases their apparent mass under special relativity).

*Also, technically, there is less mass in a positive ion than in a negative ion, because electrons have been removed to create a positively-charged atom, and added to create a negatively-charged ion. But no mass is lost or converted, only the movement of practically negligible mass from atom to atom.

How is the mass of an object affected when the object changes state?

The mass of an object remains the same when it changes state, such as from solid to liquid or gas. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and this does not change during a change in state.


Is the higher the temperature the lower the mass?

No, an increase in temperature does not directly result in a decrease in mass. The mass of a substance typically remains constant unless there is a chemical reaction or physical change occurring. Temperature changes may affect the volume, density, or state of matter, but not the mass itself.


Is the specific gravity of substance the same when the substance is in the solid state?

No. Roughly speaking, "specific gravity" is equivalent to density, i.e., mass divided by volume. If a substance changes its state, its volume will change, but its mass won't change - therefore, the density - the result of the division - will also change.


Does a substance change mass if it changes physically?

No. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, and that does not change when the matter changes states. The matter will either contract or expand, depending on the current state and the state to be reached, but that does not change how much matter is in the object.


How does change in mass affect motion?

A change in mass can affect an object's motion by altering its inertia. An object with a larger mass will require more force to accelerate or decelerate compared to an object with a smaller mass. As a result, a change in mass can impact an object's speed, acceleration, and overall movement.

Does the mass of something change if you change it shape?

No. Mass is independent of shape. The mass, as measured by weight, will be the same. If the material is compressible and you change the volume as a result of changing the shape, the density will change although the mass will not.


What does the law of conservation of mass - energy state?

It states that energy can change but mass can not change Chuma.C


Can a increase in density result from an increase in mass and no change in volume?

Yes. Density is mass/volume so if mass increases so does density if volume does not change


What happens to the overall mass of a substance when it changes state?

The overall mass of a substance remains the same when it changes state. The mass is conserved during physical changes like melting, freezing, vaporization, or condensation. This is because the number of atoms or molecules in the substance does not change during a change in state.

Did the law of conservation of mass state that the mass of all substances before a chemical change equals the mass of all the substance after the change?

Yes


What does a physical change substance result in?

One possibility is a change in state.

Will the weight of an object change if it changes it state?

No. The mass of an object doesn't change (Law of Conservation of Mass), therefore its weight won't change either (weight = mass x gravity).
