Find the mass ofthe solutions (the reactants) by subtracting the mass of the empty flask. (Gtep 1 from the mass before mixing (step 5). What isthe mass ofthe two reactants? 2. Find the mass ofthe products by subtracting the mass ofthe empty flask (step 1) from the ‘mass after mixing (step 8) What b Use snss of the products? Analysis and Conclusions 1 What changes did you observe to indicat that a reaction took place? 2. How did the mass ofthe reactants (the two solutions) compare with the mass of the products fn this reaction? 3. Wes mass conserved inthis reaction? 4. Was this reaction a chemical ora physical change? Explain. 5. On Your Own Repeat this experiment using an antacid tablot and water instead of copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide solutons, Why might the measured masses be different before and ater this reaction?
