Question

A can was filled with crushed ice, sealed, and massed. The ice was melted by slowly warming the can and its contents. No water vapor escaped and no air entered the can. If the can is then massed again after the ice has melted, what is the best prediction of the mass?

A) The mass would be the same.
B) The mass would be more.
C) The mass would be less.
D) It is impossible to predict without more information.​

Answer 1

be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A) The mass would be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no loss of any particle to vapor during the phase change process from solid to liquid, the mass of the before and after the process will remain the same.

• In this way, the law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
• Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance.
• Since there is no room for escape or matter loss, the mass will remain the same.
