Question

1. In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium
carbonate reacted with 6 g of
acetic acid. The products were
2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g
water and 8.2 g of sodium
acetate. Show that these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sodium carbonate + Ethanoic acid → Sodium ethanoate + Carbon dioxide + Water

5.3 g + 6 g → 8.2 g + 2.2 g + 0.9 g

LHS RHS

11.3 g = 11.3 g

(Mass of reactant) (Mass of product)

This shows, that during a chemical reaction mass of reactact = mass of product.
