Question

43 when baking soda is added to vinegar, a chemical reaction occurs. the reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, and a liquid solution consisting mostly of water and a salt called sodium acetate. how is mass affected in this reaction, according to the law of conservation of matter?
○ the total mass of baking soda and carbon dioxide must equal the total mass of the liquid solution.
○ the total mass of vinegar and water must equal the total mass of baking soda, carbon dioxide, and the liquid solution.
○ the total mass of baking soda and vinegar must equal the total mass of carbon dioxide and the liquid solution.
○ the total mass of baking soda and vinegar must equal the total mass of the liquid solution.

Explanation:

Answer:

The total mass of baking soda and vinegar must equal the total mass of carbon dioxide and the liquid solution.
