Did mass appear to be conserved during this chemical reaction? In other words, did it look like there was more or less mass than what you started with? Simply describe what you saw, not what you think should have happened. Use complete sentences for your answer.
I wasn't there. I don't know what experiment was conducted. I don't know what was observed.
To determine whether mass was conserved during a chemical reaction, you would need to compare the total mass of the reactants before the reaction to the total mass of the products formed after the reaction. You can do this by weighing the reactants and products using a balance scale or any other precise measuring instrument.
If you observed the chemical reaction in person, you could visually assess whether there appeared to be more or less mass than what was initially present. If you noticed any obvious changes, such as the formation of a gas or a significant change in size or volume, it might suggest that some mass was lost or gained during the reaction.
However, it is important to note that visual observations alone are not sufficient to determine if mass was conserved accurately. To be certain, you would need to conduct a precise measurement of the mass of the reactants and products using appropriate laboratory equipment.
