Hi!
You would not want to use a stopper when<span> combining two unknown substances because the gasses made from the combination could end up creating to much pressure and explode.</span>
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. The first two reactants have a total of 23 grams so therefore the product must have 23 grams as well.
23 - 16 = 7
There would be 7 grams of hydrogen gas.
The chemical name of Hc2h3o2 is Acetic Acid.
