Q

A glass of water sealed with a lid is put in the freezer. After it’s frozen, you remove the glass and noticed that the volume has decreased. Was matter lost? How would you explain it to someone to see if matter was lost?

A

Matter was not lost since it was sealed so nothing could escape. To tell measure the matter before and after.
