Did the mass of the steel wool stay the same, increase, or decrease? Explain why happened
What this a chemical or physical change?
According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created nor destroyed. All I did was
supply energy to the iron (remember, energy is NOT matter). So, how can we explain the result that
we saw?? What might be possibly adding mass to the steel wool?
