Yes. It happens for all endothermic chemical reactions. For example the mass of an H2 molecule plus half the mass of and O2 molecule is slightly more than an H2O molecule before electrolysis. The extra (miniscule) mass is converted from electrical energy. It becomes more obvious, though, in the case of higher energy reactions where whole new particles can be created. Two electrons colliding with each other at sufficient speed will create an additional electron-positron pair from the initial kinetic energy.

Yes. Science tells us that energy and matter can be converted into one another. In the Big Bang Theory, there are even details about the sequence in which matter was formed from existing matter and energy.

Isn`t mass the same as matter ? if so then a basic law of physics says that mass can neither be created nor destroyed .

yes but not exactly created but can be converted to one form of mass or the other...

Yes, E = MC^2 (Einstein's equation)
E - ENERGY
M- MASS
C- VELOCITY OF LIGHT
ENERY = MASS * SQUARE OF VELOCITY OF LIGHT
The universe was created from energy

yes, according to Einstein
E = M(C^2)
