In an experiment, mixing baking soda and vinegar produced a combination of salty liquid and carbon dioxide as shown in the following the ammonut of it wich is 40 grams of salty lquid and 10 grams of carbon dioxide What was the combined mass of the baking soda and vinegar before mixing? (1 point) Responses 35 grams 35 grams 45 grams 45 grams 55 grams 55 grams 450 grams 450 grams Skip to navigation
To find the combined mass of the baking soda and vinegar before mixing, we need to subtract the mass of the salty liquid and carbon dioxide from the total mass of the mixture after the reaction.
According to the information provided, the mass of the salty liquid is 40 grams and the mass of the carbon dioxide is 10 grams.
To calculate the combined mass before mixing, we add the mass of the salty liquid and the mass of the carbon dioxide:
Combined mass before mixing = Mass of salty liquid + Mass of carbon dioxide
= 40 grams + 10 grams
= 50 grams
Therefore, the combined mass of the baking soda and vinegar before mixing was 50 grams.
