When boiling, the total mass of liquid and vaporized water stays the same. This is due to the principle of conservation of mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system. Therefore, the mass of the water that vaporizes will equal the mass of the vapor formed, resulting in no net change in total mass.
