in an experiment mixing baking soda and vinegar produce a combination fo salty liquid and carbon dioxide as shown in the following graph what was the combined mass of the baking soda and vineger if the salty liquid has the mass (grams) of 45 and and the carbon dioxide has the mass (grams) of 10
To determine the combined mass of the baking soda and vinegar, we need to find the mass of the reactants that were used to produce the salty liquid and carbon dioxide.
From the information given, we know that the mass of the salty liquid is 45 grams and the mass of the carbon dioxide is 10 grams.
Let's assume the mass of the baking soda is 'x' grams and the mass of the vinegar is 'y' grams.
Since the baking soda and vinegar completely react to form the products, the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the mass of the products.
Hence, we can write the equation:
Mass of baking soda + Mass of vinegar = Mass of salty liquid + Mass of carbon dioxide
x + y = 45 + 10
x + y = 55
Unfortunately, without further information or additional data, we cannot determine the individual masses of baking soda and vinegar separately. However, we know that their combined mass is 55 grams based on the equation above.
