Answer:
simple chemistry experiment—adding baking soda to vinegar—seems to challenge the law of conservation of mass.
An exothermic reaction has occurred. You can remember that EXothermic means that energy is EXiting the system. If energy enters the system, it’s endothermic.
The balanced equation would be:
2HCl + Mg(HCO3)2 —> MgCl2 + 2CO2 + 2H2O
Yes, it is a liquid because a solid is a state of matter with a fixed volume and shape; and Gases take both the shape and the volume of their container; and liquid is the one that takes the shape of their container but not necessarily the volume.
