in a chemical reaction, 10.6 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 12 g of ethanoic acid. the products were 4.4 g of carbon - dioxide,1.8 g of water and 16.4 g of sodium ethanoate.
a) write a word equation for this.
b) prove that this in agreement with the law of conservation of mass

Sodium carbonate + acetic acid → Sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water
Solution :
Sodium carbonate + acetic acid → Sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water
5.3g 6g 8.2g 2.2g 0.9g
As per the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of products
As per the above reaction, LHS = RHS i.e., 5.3g + 6g = 2.2g + 0.9 g + 8.2 g = 11.3 g
