<h2>Answer : Law of conservation of mass</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>
The law of conservation of mass states that in any reaction mass is neither created nor lost it has to remain constant in a system.
In this case, when the reaction setup was done in normal way the mass was lost in surrounding was not considered nor being calculated; whereas when the reaction was studied in a closed system where the gas was collected after the reaction the mass changes was noted down which helped to prove the point of law of conservation of mass and energy.
One can consider an example of soda can where the carbonated drink contains pressurized carbon dioxide gas. when opened the gas bubbles gets lost into the surroundings and we don't measure the mass changes. Instead if the soda can was opened in such a way where the gas evolved was measured then the mass changed would remain the same.

Answer:
the difference in electronegativity is so large (2.04) that the bonding electrons spend almost all their time on the nitrogen atom.
Explanation:
Because calcium loses 2 electrons to become Ca2+, and nitrogen gains 3 electrons to become N3−, you need two calcium atoms and three nitrogen atoms in order to form a neutral compound.
