Aclosed glass jar contains water vapor. the jar cools and liquid water begins to form. what will happen to the mass of the container as the liquid water is forming?

It will stay the same. 

The mass isn't going anywhere (You did mention the jar was hypothetically and therefore hermetically sealed) 

The only thing changing here is the density of the water in the jar (whether it be vapor, liquid or otherwise)
as the temperature drops and the vapour becomes liquid, the water will be more dense. 

that's not saying that the weight won't increase as that is controlled by the force gravity exerts on the mass. (Hint: water is much more affected by gravity than air is)

Hunting in the darksome fish rely on senses beyond sight. in the darkness of the marianas trench, a fish called the rattail has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. the fish uses scent, rather than sight, to steer toward food. once it's near food, the rattail uses a special organ on the bottom of its chin to guide itself by feel.marine snowone staple of the deep sea diet is "marine snow," flakes of organic, edible substances that sink down from the upper ocean. animals at the ocean's bottom find sustenance in everything from the bodies of dead creatures to fecal matter. marine snow is diverse enough to support numerous species. for instance, several species of snails and worms feed exclusively on deceased whales.microorganismsthe deep sea is an intricate ecosystem, and even the ocean floor itself plays a part. hydrothermal vents are cracks in the sea floor where erupting magma mixes with ocean water to produce plumes of hot, sulfur-rich chemicals. some microbes can use these chemicals for energy, sustaining their existence and that of the animals who depend on their roles in the deep sea food chain.
