Question

When 4.2g of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) is added to a solution of HCl weighing 10.0g, it is observed that 2.2g of CO2 is released into the atmosphere. The residue left behind is found to weigh 12.0g. Show that these observations are in agreement with the laws of conservation of mass.

Solution

Weight of NaHCO3=4.2g
Weight of HCl=10g
Weight of CO2=2.2g
Weight of residue =12g
According to law of conservation of mass
NaHCO3+HCl=CO2+residue
4.2+10=2.2+12
14.2=14.2
Since the masses are same before and after the reaction, thus results agree with the law of conservation of mass.
Hence proved.
