Question

when water changes state from ice to a liquid, does the total mass if the water change?​

Answer 1

no, mass is how many atoms are in that said area. the ice is just changing form not mass

actually, the mass does change. this is one of the extreamly few chemicals that do. the previous answer has a basic thinking that is for the majority of chemicals but for water its slightly different. whenwater is a liquid the atoms are in their normal state, but when frozen water makes these hexagon like shapes which contract the movement of the atoms and essensaly make those 6 now 1 atom. which is why your ice floats on top of your water and not within it.

Answer 2

Answer:

no, the mass of the water doesn't change.
