Law of conservation of mass: When  `4.2 g` of sodioum hydrogen  carbone  `(NaHCO_(3))` is added to a solution of acertc aacid  `(CH_(3) COOH)` weighting `10.0 g` then `2.2 g` of carbon   diosxed `(CO_(2))` is released into the atmosphere and the residue ledft weighs  `12.0 g`. Show that these observation are in agreement with the law  of conservation of mass. Strategy: Find the  sum total  of mass of recants  before  the reaction and sum  total of mass of products  after the reaction.
