In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate | Class 9 Science Chapter Atoms and Molecules, Atoms and Molecules NCERT Solutions

Question:

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 observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

Answer:

Law of conservation of mass: Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Given reaction: sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

Total mass of reactants = 5.3 + 6 = 11.3 g.

Total mass of products = 8.2 + 2.2 + 0.9 = 11.3 g 

Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products

Hence, these observation are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
