_____/ 10 - 4.5.2.1 Law of Conservation of Matter and Mass

6. (2 pts) According to the law of conservation of matter/mass, the total mass of the reacting substances
a) is always more than the total mass of the products.
b) is always less than the total mass of the products.
c) is sometimes more and sometimes less than the total mass of the products.
d) is always the same as the total mass of the products.

7. (2 pts) When paper burns in a fire, the ash that is left over weighs far less than the original log.
What happens to the mass of the paper?
a) The mass is destroyed by the fire.
b) All of the mass still exists. Some turns into ash and some turns into the smoke.
c) Mass is not conserved in this reaction because the ash weighs less than the
paper.

8. (2 pts) Which of the following equations shows a conservation of matter/mass?

a) Mg + O2 MgO
b) Na2O + H2O NaOH
c) CaO + H2O Ca(OH)2
d) HNO3 N2O5 + H2O

9. (4 pts) A group of students wants to test the law of conservation of matter/mass in the laboratory
using the reaction of baking soda (NaHCO3) and vinegar (HC2H3O2). They place some vinegar in a
flask and some baking soda in a balloon, then attach the balloon to the opening of the flask. When
the balloon is inverted, the baking soda and vinegar combine, producing carbon dioxide, water, and
sodium hydrogen carbonate and the balloon inflates. The students data is shown in the table below.
NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3

Mass baking soda 1.0 g

Mass of vinegar 5.0 g
Mass of all
products after 6.00 g
reaction

a) Write in. What was the mass of the reactant in this experiment?
b) Write in. What was the mass of the products in this experiment?
c) Write in. Does the students experiment validate the law of conservation of matter/mass? (yes or no)
d) Write in. How do you know?
