Look at the picture above. If the bucket were left outside on a hot day but brought inside before any evaporation occurred, how would the mass be affected?

Question

A.
The mass would be less.
B.
The mass would be greater.
C.
The mass would not be affected.
D.
There would be no mass.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. The mass would not be affected.

If the bucket were left outside on a hot day but brought inside before any evaporation occurred, the mass of the bucket and its contents would remain the same, as no water would have evaporated during that time.
