Question

Why is it better to measure the percent change in mass ratherthan just using the change in mass?

Answer 1

Answer: The result is presented in proportion which gives a clearer understanding and accurate result.

Explanation: Percentage change in mass is the proportion of the initial mass of a substance changed after sometime. The results is presented as a percentage making it more accurate and can help to give future reference to weight calculations.

Change is Mass is the mass of a substance left after sometime mostly given in grams. It is not as accurate as percentage change in mass. It is generally better to show results in percentage change in mass as it gives a better understanding of what mass of a substance was lost after a given period or after application of energy like Heat or increased temperature.
