. In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon di oxide, 0.9 g of 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-sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

Solution

The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. In other words, the mass of the reactants in a chemical reaction should equal the mass of the products.

Let's verify this for the given reaction:

Mass of reactants = Mass of sodium carbonate + Mass of ethanoic acid = 5.3 g + 6 g = 11.3 g

Mass of products = Mass of carbon dioxide + Mass of water + Mass of sodium ethanoate = 2.2 g + 0.9 g + 8.2 g = 11.3 g

Since the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products (11.3 g), these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
