Atoms and Molecules

Question:

Give an example to show Law of conservation of mass applies to physical change also.

Answer:

When ice melts into water, is a physical change. Take a piece of ice in small flask, cork it and weight it (say Wice gm). Heat the flask gently and ice (solid) slowly melts into water (liquid). Weigh the flask again (Wwater gm). It is found there is no change in the weight i.e. Wice= Wwater.
                              Heat(Δ)
                        Ice  ----------➜   Water
This shows law of conservation of mass holds true for physical changes.
