Use the blocks to build the reactant(s).

Find the mass of reactant(s) altogether.

Rearrange the blocks to build the product(s).

Find the mass of the product(s) altogether.

 Carefully place some acetic acid (less than 25mL) in the flask

Place some sodium bicarbonate inside the balloon

Attach the balloon to the top of the flask without allowing
any sodium bicarbonate to fall into flask
Find the mass of all entire set up
Leaving the set up on the triple beam balance, lift the balloon to allow
sodium bicarbonate to fall into flask

1. Write the chemical equation you had for the blocks.

2. Create a table showing the mass of the reactants and products of that equation (remember
to include units).
3. Write out the second chemical equation

4. Create a table showing the mass before the reaction and after the reaction (remember to
include units).
5. Explain what happens to the atoms involved in a chemical reaction (write in a complete
sentence).
6. This lab was an introduction to the Law of Conservation of Mass, based on what you have
seen in both parts of the lab, create a logical definition of the Law of Conservation of Mass
and explain how this lab is related. (Your answer must have at least four complete
sentences).
