how are changes between phases consistent with the law of conservation of matter
I'm assuming its cause the total mass is the same, changes between phases are physical... solid ice and liquid water have the same mass
Answer:
When a substance change its phase, neither destruction nor creation of matter is carried out.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, a phase change or phase transition is a physical process based on a modification of a substance's molecular arrangement due to the heat adding or removal, in such a way, if for instance a liquid is boiled, heat is added so matter is not destroyed but changed in its molecular arrangement from more organized and quiet, to dispersed and choppy. A similar phenomena also occurs to other phase transition, therefore, one concludes that when a substance change its phase, neither destruction nor creation of matter is carried out so the law of conservation of matter is respected.
Best regards.
