Question

if there is 8 g of a substance before a physical change , how much will there be afterwards?

Answer 1

a substance undergoing a physical change will still weigh the same even after the change. This is in accordance to the law of conservation of mass which states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. so an 8 g substance remains of the same weight even after undergoing a physical change.

Answer 2

Answer: It will be 8 g afterwards

Explanation:

A physical change is defined as a change in which there is alteration in shape, size etc. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

Example: Melting of ice

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Thus if there is 8 g of a substance before a physical change, 8 g of it will there be afterwards.
