Question

If a solid that has a mass of 25 grams melts, it should result in a _______ with a mass of _______ grams.

Answer 1

If a solid that has a mass of 25 grams melts, it should result in a liquid with a mass of 25 grams.

Answer 2

Answer: The melting of solid will result in a liquid with a mass of 25 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Melting is defined as the physical process in which solid substance gets converted to liquid substance at constant temperature.

`\text{Solid}\rightleftharpoons \text{Liquid}`

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

We are given:

Mass of the solid (reactant) = 25 g

Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:

Mass of liquid = mass of solid = 25 g

Hence, the melting of solid will result in a liquid with a mass of 25 grams.
