Answer the following question:
In a reaction 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium ethanoate. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
Sodium carbonate + Ethanoic acid → + Carbon dioxide + water
5.3 g + 6 g →
Therefore, LHS = RHS
11.3 g = 11.3 g
Mass of reactant = Mass of product
This shows that during a chemical reaction, = Mass of product.
