Question

Michael is testing out the following reaction: Na2CO3+ 2HCl à 2NaCl + H2O + CO2. He combines sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid in a 100 mL graduated cylinder and covers the mouth of the graduated cylinder with a balloon. Michael fills out the data table.

Substance/Material Measurement
Mass of sodium carbonate 2.5 g
Mass of empty graduated cylinder 72.5 g
Mass of graduated cylinder with HCl 88.8 g
Mass of empty balloon 0.4 g
Mass of final experiment XXX g

In order to show evidence supporting the Law of Conservation of Mass, what should Michael find as the final mass, and why?

 
 
A

18.8 g, because only the mass of the products should be accounted for, not the equipment.

 
 
B

19.2 g, because the mass of the products and the balloon should be accounted for.

 
 
C

75.4 g, because this mass accounts for all equipment and products in the reaction.

 
 
D

91.7 g, because this mass accounts for all equipment, reactants, and products created in the reaction.
