The mass will remain the same; mass is matter and it cannot be created or destroyed

Answer: Yes, the mass will remain conserved during a physical change.

Explanation: 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. In a reaction, total mass on the reactant side will always be equal to the total mass on the product side.
