The statement is true. The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. When 1 gram of ice melts into 100 grams of liquid water, the total mass of the mixture remains the same. Therefore, the total mass after the ice melts will still be 100 grams (99 grams of water from the original 100 grams and 1 gram of melted ice). Hence, the total mass of the mixture is indeed 100 grams.
1 g of ice is put into a container that already has 100 g of liquid water in it. The 1 g of ice melts into the water. The law of conversation of matter the mixture is 100 g is this statement true or fault?
