The total mass of the mixture would not change.

Think about it as a mix of marbles. Suppose you have a group of 10 marbles. 5 marbles are red, and 5 marbles are blue. If you separate the marbles into 2 different groups by color, you still have 10 marbles in total, but they are separated and no longer a mixture of colors.
