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 carbonate.

Masses of the reactant
mass of sodium carbonate= 5.3g
mass of ethanoic acid = 6g
So total mass of the reactant is = (5.3 + 6)g= 11.3g
Masses of the product
mass of carbon dioxide= 2.2g
mass of water = 0.9g
mass of sodium ethanoate= 8.2g
so totall mass of the product = (2.2+0.9+8.2)g = 11.3g
As the masses of the reactant is equal to product. so it follows the law of conservation of mass.
