Question

how does the solid substance affect the mass of solid dissolves?

Answer 1

When a substance changes state, the mass of the substance does not change. When a substance dissolves in a liquid, the total mass of the substance and the liquid it dissolves in does not change. When substances react to form new substances as products, the mass of the products is the same as the mass of the reactants.
