Question

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate react completely with 6 gram of acetic acid. The products w a) Carbon dioxide = 2.2 g. b) Water = 0.9 g. c) Sodium acetate = 8.2 g calculate the amount of sodium carbonate and acetic acid to obtain 41g of sodium acetate​

Mass of reactants =5.3+6=11.3 gm

Mass of products =2.2+0.9+8.2=11.3 gm

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

Hence, it shows the law of conservation of mass.
