Given what we know, we can confirm that the best way to prove that no mass was lost during the reaction would be to follow option C and determine the masses of all substances before and after the reaction.

<h3>Why is this the best method?</h3>

This method provides two sets of data in order to draw a comparison. The other option will either not produce comparable data, or do not take into account all of the elements being produced.

Therefore, by comparing the mass of baking soda and vinegar before the reaction to the mass of carbon dioxide and water after the reaction, we can analyze the differences if any, and confirm that no mass was lost during the reaction.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: C2H4+O2=H2O+Co2?
pav-90 [236]
Consider the formation of water molecule. Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form  a water molecule.

 

In this case, the total mass of the reactants = total mass of the products. Also, the number of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen in the reactants side and the products side are equal.

that's all I know

What is the definition of law of chemical combination??
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

In simple terms, this law states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. In other words, the total mass, that is, the sum of mass of reacting mixture and the products formed remains constant.

Why is a measured amount of water needed to determine the specific heat of a metal object?
shutvik [7]
This  is  because  absorbed  heat  energy or  released  by  water  is dependent on  mass of  water.
q=mc delta  T
where  q is  the amount  of  energy  required,   m  is  the  mass , C  is   the  specific  heat  capacity  and  delta  T is change  in  temperature.

when dissolved in water, an acid or a base breaks down into a. a proton and an electron b. two negative ions c. a positive and a
Radda [10]

Answer:

C. A positive and a negative ion

Explanation:

Acids and bases are made up of charged particles known as ions. The ions present in acids are oppositely charged and are held together by strong electrostatic forces. When acids or bases are dissolved in water, the electrostatic forces holding their individual molecules together are weakened and these ions are free to move apart in a process known as dissociation. Dissociation occurs because of the attraction between the positive and negative ions in the acid and bases and the negative and positive polarity of water.

For example, when an acid like hydrochloric acid is dissolved in water it dissociates into positive and negative ions as follows:

HCl(aq) -----> H+ + Cl-

When a base like sodium hydroxide is dissolved in water, it dissociates into positive and negative ions as follows:

NaOH(aq) ----> Na+ + OH-
