then the electrons and protons would have a even amount of negetive electric charges
Capture all of the smoke and weight it. it will weigh exactly the same before and after you burn it but will just be CO2 and H2O gas.
Explanation :
In thermodynamics, a system is region or part of space which is being studied and observed while the surrounding is the region or space around the system which interacts with the system.
Here in the experiment ,system which is observed is reaction or changes when citric acid and sodium bicarbonate are mixed together. And the mixing is carried out in the calorimeter which serves as a surrounding around the system.
The reason behind the using the calorimeter is measure the energy change occurring during the reaction.
