Answer:
The mass remains the same
Step-by-step explanation:
An ice cube of mass 5g left in the sun in a beaker will have no mass difference.
For this system, mass is conserved.
- The ice cube begins to melt and the state changes.
- The state change is from solid to liquid.
- Since no mass is loss, the mass of the liquid formed and the ice will remain the same.
- In retrospect, this physical change ensures that mass is conserved.
