Select the right option to answer the question:
In a reaction, 10.6 g of sodium carbonate reacts with 12 g of hydrochloric acid to produce 4.4 g of carbon dioxide, 1.8 g of water, and 16.4 g of sodium chloride. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
Sodium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid → + Carbon dioxide + Water
10.6 g +12 g →
Therefore, LHS = RHS
g = g
This shows that during a chemical reaction,
\(=\) Mass of product
