Why or why not?

The volume of the substance should not change based upon the law of conservation of mass, which states that, ' there is no detectable change in mass during an ordinary chemical reaction.' Also based upon the law of constant composition, which states that, ' a chemical compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass. Hoping that this helped.

Yes. There is no law of conservation of volume. For example, if you burn a log, the gaseous result, with the same mass (because there is a law of conservation of mass), is likely to have a much larger volume, particularly under hot conditions.

If you cook at all or bake you can watch it change volume right before your eyes!
One easy one to consider: bread dough, without the chemical change of yeast it is a flat---maybe 3 to 4 inches thick--piece of dough; add yeast and allow it to "proof, or ferment" and it becomes a gaseous ball of dough about 6 inches tall or more. {it all depends on how much yeast & how long you let it rise}
Simple volume change by chemical interaction!

It really depends. Most of the time, yes it does. But not always. Gases can react and fill the same volume.
